Just an update. The Douay Rheims Bible is taking longer than I thought it would because all available sources (and there are a few) are full of typos and OCR errors (almost every verse has a problem). I cannot publish a Bible translation in good conscience with so many errors. The good thing is that once I am finished with it, my edition will be the most accurate electronic version of D-R available.

I am also working on a huge Biblical dictionary/encyclopedia. My tolerance for OCR errors in a dictionary of that size is stronger. So, I will fix as many issues as I can and then release it to the public. I think it will be useful.
