Can anyone tell me if this RSV contains the apocrypha (or at least what Protestants consider the apocrypha) texts of the Old Testament?

I'm not sure if this is just an issue with my version of the text in Logos, but there are zero footnotes. I've tried checking and unchecking "show footnotes on page", adjusted all the visual filter options, but they don't show up. I find that odd, as every other bible I have from Logos, including the NRSV include it. I'm not really commenting on the Biblical text, as much as the Logos edition. However, I'll say in response to a commentator below, I find it odd to object to the inclusion of John 7:53-8:11, since most scholars believe that it is a genuine part of scripture, if possibly not from John. Incidentally, Dr. Gordon Hugenberger of Park Street Church in Boston preached a pretty compelling sermon about the legitimacy of that passage and a reasonable explanation of why it might have been removed (people at the time thought it was advocating adultery). [You can listen to it here: http://media.parkstreet.org/audio/2006-06-25-am.mp3] Ultimately, I think it makes sense to leave John 7:53-8:11 in with a clear footnote, which leads me back to my complaint about the RSV having no visible footnotes in my Logos version. Perhaps another reviewer can explain if this is is a problem they are having too, or if it's somehow peculiar to my copy.
