[sword-devel] A question about Generic book modules

[David Haslam]

It's apparent that the .dat and .idx files are needed for the module to function aright.

When I tried to open the new module in Xiphos, nothing was displayed.

So please would someone explain how I can make these two files so that my new module will work correctly.


Best regards,

David
