I thought I'd have a play.  I downloaded the osis file from 
http://ebible.org/ and using the command:   osis2mod ./ 
eng-webbe_osis.xml -z -v KJVA  and the following as a .conf file:

[webbe_a]
DataPath=./modules/texts/ztext/webbe_a/
ModDrv=zText

I made a working module.  The osis2mod error messages show that neither 
KJVA nor any of the other currently available 'with'apocrypha' 
versifications are correct.  As an example, 4 Maccabees is ignored 
completely ....  there are a host of other unsupported verses.  I wonder 
if there is any chance someone could add a WEBA versification (or 
explain to me very gently how to make one?)  Chris Little maybe?

God bless,        Barry.
