I understand that, it isn't necessary for Sword as Sword already 
understand Sword modules. :)

Will mod2osis be updated for 1.5?

If so, if mod2osis creates a nice OSIS 1.5 xml text, then I would be 
quite satisfied with that.

When I search Google for "Treasury of Scripture Knowledge" I get lots of 
hits but haven't found any which are sources of a text file(s) for the 
data. But rather many booksellers, software vendors, (many of which are 
OLB), online accessable TSKs, etc. Not to say such isn't burried in the 
search results.

Okay.

Thanks for putting up with my questions. Despite my questions I greatly 
appreciate the Sword project and do use Sword.

Thanks for all the hard work all Sword contributers put into this effort.
