Re: License Islamic Holy material

Dear Abdalla,

	The URL is http://faculty.washington.edu/heer/anonftp/atexts/. 
The file of the Qur'an in utf-8 encoding is quran-utf-8.txt.  The original 
file is quran-8859-6.txt.  In the same directory there is some other 
documentation concerning the Islamic Computing Center.  There is also a 
file called corrections.txt, but I don't know whether it is accurate or 
not.  It is very easy to cut and paste from a digitized Qur'an, but one 
has to be careful to check one's quotation against a printed mushaf.
