I'm sorry, but as far as I know the only Bible translation available in
public domain is the King James Version.
For for example the New International edition you have to pay (not much).

The King James Version is distributed by Trickle (here in Europe).
Since you said you wanted the translation by Bitnet, I conclude you are
seated in Europe, and so your server will also be Bitnet.

To get the files from Bitnet, you can use the following commands :
(send these commands in a file to TRICKLE@TREARN )

/PDDIR <MSDOS2.BIBLE>
   (gives you a directory of available archives in the bible directory)
/PDGET <MSDOS2.BIBLE>disk770.arc
   (sends the file DISK770.ARC to you)

Since the file server is sometimes overworked, you may face some problems.

If you want to, I can send you some of the files myself, because I have stored
them on my system.

Please inform me about your experiences !

Stephan
