I've been waiting for you to say you were back... while you were away, I
decided to take a look at jsword. I also decided to download and play with
eclipse, as I'd been using Netbeans (to create the indexes for my PalmOS
concordance), and I kept hearing about eclipse. Anyway, I managed to get it
to do lots of copying from cvs, but couldn't find osis dependencies.

Are they not checked in?

I've only quickly looked at (quite an old copy of) the c source, and I think
SWCompress gets implemented as either an ZipCompress using zlib (source in
utilfuns), or LZSSCompress (source in lzsscomprs.cpp)

mod2zmod should demonstrate how they're created?

Stephen.
