[sword-devel] Back conversion

[David Haslam]

To pick up on one possible misunderstanding by Tom,

Analysis tools such as mod2imp and diatheke take the module name as the main command line argument.

Not the filename of the .bzz files in the <datapath>.

i.e. Your command should be given in the context of the sword path as the current directory.

Best regards,

David
