Please credit Terry Biggs for GnomeSword's basic UI, who created it in
2000. He's a pastor from Newark, Ohio who does a lot with computers as
a matter of personal interest, and it was the penultimate personal itch
to scratch for him. Of course, a great deal has changed over the years.

We have a module "WHNU" whose "About" text says:
| Westcott-Hort with NA27/UBS4 variants (1881)
| The Westcott-Hort edition of 1881 with complete parsing information
| for all Greek words. Readings of Nestle27/UBS4 shown, also with
| complete parsing information attached
Would that be appropriate for your use? Unfortunately, it appears to
be unaccented(!).
There is also TR (Stephens 1550 + Scrivener 1894), MorphGNT ("derived
from the morphologically parsed GNT provided by UPenn's CCAT"), and a
Byzantine/Majority Text ("Byzantine Textform, Robinson & Pierpont, ed.
2000 edition").

No clue, but I'll ask around.
