Where did the text come from, and (more importantly) do we have 
permission to use/distribute it?  What message is vpl2mod giving you, 
specifically?

By "headers" do you mean verse references, as in "Gen 1:1 <some text>"? 
   If so, you'll want to use something like, "./vpl2mod jb2000.txt ./ 0 
0" as your command line.

I assume you already know of the tutorial at 
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordmodule/index.jsp though it 
doesn't specifically cover your case well.  We appreciate your work 
creating and testing the module yourself before submitting it for 
posting, but if you do decide to submit it, we would appreciate the 
source form as well.
