mod2imp will give you an uncompressed text ready for importing back into a
uncompressed module with imp2vs then compressed with mod2zmod, however I
just tried this with the RSV and it didn't work for me either...

So I tried again, and was succesful... this is what I did...

cd C:\Program Files\CrossWire\The SWORD Project

mod2imp RSV >rsv.imp

edited rsv.imp to correct Job 19:28

copied rsv.conf to a new file myrsv.conf

edited myrsv.conf:
changed the module name to myRSV
changed the data path to ./my/myrsv/
changed the ModDrv to RawText
removed the CompressType and BlockType entries

imp2vs rsv.imp ./my/myrsv >myrsv.log

Checked the log file, no errors.

Ran The Sword Project, and a new module myRSV appeared, with the corrected
Job 19:28 (getting to this stage is where I had a problem earlier, and would
get a blank display)

mod2zmod myRSV ./my/myrsv 4 2 >rsvz.log

check the log file, no unexpected errors

changed the myrsv.conf to have
ModDrv=zText
CompressType=ZIP
BlockType=BOOK

deleted:
my/myrsv/nt
my/myrsv/ot
my/myrsv/nt.vss
my/myrsv/ot.vss
myrsv.log
rsvz.log
rsv.imp

Ran the sword project and myRSV is still there, working, with one verse
corrected.

> Job 18: 28 If you say, `e him!' and, `s found in him';
The RSV looks like it was downloaded and converted from
http://ota.ahds.ac.uk/
I just downloaded the text from there again, and it appears corrupted at the
source.
