I fear that part of the problem is knowing what is available (and also how
they became available in the first place!). Just because one site or
another has certain things available does not mean they produced them.
Much on the Wheaton site came from elsewhere -- I'm not at all sure how
much of it is "new" to Wheaton (my alma mater!).
Indeed, much of the biblical stuff "out there" came through the CATSS/CCAT
projects here at UPenn, usually gathered from elsewhere and reformatted
into a consistent body of materials in the mid 1980s. If you want the KJV
and/or its Apocrypha, save yourself the $29 and go to
gopher://ccat.sas.upenn.edu:3333/11/Religious/Biblical/KJVBible --
if it makes you feel better, send me the $29 and I'll invest it in the
current attempt to put all the Old Greek ("LXX") variants into electronic
form for the public domain!
