[sword-devel] Re: NET Bible

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Tom,
	Excited about your involvement.  Hope we can help you out.  There are 
other members on sword-devel who will be able to answer your question 
from more recent experience that me.  I'll try to pick up the slack if 
you're still having troubles.  But to start, I would suggest switching 
from vpl2mod.  That is probably the least supported of our import 
utilities.  osis2mod would be at the opposite end of support on our 
priority list, but the learning curve might be a little high for OSIS 
right now-- depending on your time schedule.  imp2vs might be a good 
alternative.  It supports text importing from a format like:

$$$Gen 1:1
In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth
$$$Gen 1:2
And the earth was without form and void...

and still supports any tag markup (you can use osis tags in the text body.

Hope this get's you a little further.

	Blessings in your endeavours for our Lord!

			-Troy.
