There are no STEP drivers written yet for SWORD.  We have the
decompression algorythms for STEP in our code, but nothing to parse
their specific format or tags.

I really need to write a HOWTO on module development.  I'll work on it. 
For now, you may wish to see the *idx.c[pp] files strewn throughout the
source tree.  These are all different programs written to generate the
needed .vss or .idx index files needed by SWORD.
