At the University of Md some of us have been doing some statistical analysis on the tanach (zero and first order statistics) to try and compute the likelihood of various gematrias.In order to facilitate such study, we got a hold of a copy of the tanach in Hebrew. It has some errors in it; also, there are extra letters inserted in the text to represent the vowels. It is done in Hebrew, although it has to be converted from an alphanumeric represen- tation (for example, aleph is represented by an A bet by a B ,etc.). Anyone interested in a copy let me know.
