Default Tools : Bible Downloads. Which one?

Ten years ago I had a bible on my DOS out of date computer. It had Hebrew, Greek as well as English and French translations. Now I am looking for a source (free download) with the same possibilities under Windows. What is the best available source, what will you recommand?

Try the Online Bible which is pretty fat -- the basic program is over 10 megabytes and then there are very many useful libraries to add to the core, LXX, Vulgate, Hebrew, numberous translations, various Greek nt, etc.

Johann, unfortunately, I'm not sure if this is still around because the link is not currently working for me, but try the following. If it is still available, it is a good, free Bible software program:

Good. The website is back. Here is a direct link. You should find that this is a very good free program.

E-Sword is even a lot fatter than the Online Bible, 18 megabytes for the basic package, and the modules are much larger as well. It does have a few interesting modules. Perhaps because I'm used to the Online Bible, I don't find E-Sword as functional. Perhaps someone else has done a comparison.
