I infer that no electronic Kierkegaard editions
either in the original Danish, or in any of the translations,
are presently available either in Internet ftp archives
or on CD-ROM.  If my inference is wrong, I should be grateful
for information where such electronic Kierkegaard texts might
be obtained.

Alternatively, I should like to hear from anyone who would
be interested in collaborating in the production of such
electronic versions of Kierkegaard's writings.  No financial
contributions are expected.

I am especially interested in the possibility of compiling
an interlinear version of the Danish with German and or
English translations; inasmuch as I infer that many of  
the texts that are unintelligible in translation are likewise
unintelligible in the original, and that the translations
of Kierkegaard are unavoidably tinted with the preconceptions
of their translators.

I have reason to believe that electronic scanning of printed
texts is technically feasible, and that character recognition
software is available at least for texts in English and German.
I should be grateful for any information regarding the copyright
status of Kierkegaard's writings, and for any addresses of the
owners of such copyrights as might still be in force.
