Oh, Man, and I had been thinking about whether this was an option for
Chris and me at some point! I actually love a freeware Bible package
named Bibleseeker that's out there but they are too small to afford
the rights to a copyrighted Bible.
Wasn't the party that offered the NIV in Bibleseeker format one of
the renown Christian colleges over there? At least my husband seemed
to recognize the name of the college. Hard to imagine they would go
"out of business." ;-p
Thanks for updating me on the details and my apologies for passing
out outdated information.
Cheers,
Doris

Hi Doris,
This is no longer true. The company who marketed the NIV for Theophilos, Ready Marketing, seem to have gone out of business, so you can't get the NIV any more for Theophilos, I checked with the author, Ivan Jurik.

Actually, there is a commercial version of theophilos that does include the NIV and I believe that you can also buy and unlock code for the NIV under the Online bible OInterface. Bibleseeker is freeware and only contains public domain versions of the bible.
Of the other two, I much prefer Theophilos for its interface but the more affordable solution to get the NNIV text would be with the online bible interface, I believe. I would recommend downloading the freeware versions of both packages and trying which one you like better. Also, if you just want the text, the International Bible Society offers the revised version of the NIV, called "Today's New International version", I believe, for free download in pdf.
Lastly, I think there is a Bible Courier version of the NIV though I am not sure if they ever resolved the copyright issue of selling the NIV outside North America.
Cheers,
Doris
