Chris, I am using the latest version of the KJV module that is on the
site.  Is there another site or download URL I am missing?

Also, diatheke is correctly grabbing strong's numbers from the module.
Or else it is looking up the strong's numbers somehow.  I looked through
the source and it wasn't apparent how diatheke is doing this.

As the author of diatheke, can you please tell me how diatheke is able
to grab the strong's numbers from the KJV module?

If you find it easier, could you run mod2osis on your "current" KJV
module and send me the output?

I have diatheke 4.0, and am using the sword 1.5.8 libraries.  The KJV
module is NOT installed anywhere, I've been using it from inside a
directory where I've unzipped what I download directly from the
crosswire website.

God bless.

John
