I just stumbled across a site that has the full version of BAG on line in Unicode text format [using the GraecaII font]. It’s the 1st English ed. (1957). I haven’t found any “home page” or information about it, who is responsible, or if they have copyright permission to post it. Nor is there any way to search it directly–though a Google search will turn up entries from it (which is how I found it; it brought up one of the pages with a bibliographical listing for Lars Rydbeck’s Fachprosa).
What may be intended as the “home page” is listed as http://lareopage.free.fr/a&g/main.htm—which, if you have the scripts on the page enabled (i.e., you’re smart enough to be browsing unknown sites with Firefox and the NoScript extension!)—has a clickable link on the Greek name of each letter in a Greek alphabet table.
A directory listing of page files can be found at http://lareopage.free.fr/a&g/
In the subdirectories, look for an index.html file which will list the Greek words on left and a parallel pane on the right with text of A&G (English and Greek only; any Hebrew is gibberish).
There is a higher level page that is set in light yellow type in French that is nearly impossible to read, but I can’t tell what the connection is since that page deals with astrophysics and cosmology!

Later note:
A correspondent tells me of “what appears to be the main page at http://www.areopage.net/a34.html, where BAG and a number of other works are listed.”
And that the site owner “probably exported the copyrighted texts he has posted from Logos Bible Software.”
It can’t be from Logos – they’ve only had the 2nd & 3rd edition available (and has been Unicode since at least 2002).
I have no idea where they could have obtained a digital edition…
Remember that Logos (I think) bought out CD Word from Dallas (or whoever actually owned the product), and I *think* that was originally based on BAG. I might be wrong on that edition. Logos was not originally Unicode, so there was some version of BAG/BAGD that was encoded with a legacy font–and Logos did use the Graeca fonts then. Be interesting to see if anyone who knows that history cares to comment.
