Someone else may answer the first question better than I.

As for the second, I have only the first chapter of Gen. and of Mat.
prepared so far, and those even are not fully checked. Perhaps when all is
complete, or as each book is complete, I will consider that. The
administrator of the "unbound" site is excellent. Once when I told him of an
error (some part of matthew in the wrong section) he corrected it almost
immediately and expressed interest in the fact that there were people using
the Gothic versions on the site. I'm sure he'd be open to such a thing as
you suggest. For the meantime I must practice bettering my waurdahuzd.
