Greetings!  I have received email asking me to clarify the on-line
Qur'an I mentioned in an earlier post.  The translator is M.H. Shakir,
as was selected by vote over the net last year.  One can access it
through the following commands (parenthetical comments are machine
prompts):

1) (your machine prompt) ftp princeton.edu
2) (Name:) anonymous
3) (Password:) type anything here, e.g. your username
4) (ftp>) cd pub
5) (ftp>) bin
6) (ftp>) get Quran.tar.Z
7) (ftp>) quit
8) (your machine prompt) zcat Quran.tar.Z | tar xvf -

The ascii text of the Holy Qur'an should then be located in a
subdirectory of your current working directory called "Quran".  Only
the ascii text is provided.  The translator and publisher are listed
in the file "README".  Please maintain this file with the text when
further distributing the package, as the publisher has requested.
Enjoy!

eternity of Mine essence, I knew My love for thee; therefore I
created thee, have engraved on thee Mine image and revealed to thee
My beauty."
