Brother Chris, Troy and Barry:<br>
<br>
First, please accept my sincere thanks for responding to my
(obviously, stupid "rookie") questions. Once I get these modules
going, I would be honoured to help the rookies that follow after me by
passing on what I glean from the "masters" (didn't I read
somewhere..."Chris Little [module making machine]"??!! That's quite a
compliment!).<br>
<br>
My initial source for the NET Bible was the HTML source from
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.bible.org">www.bible.org</a>. This was substantially massaged to convert it to MS RTF
format. This was imported into MS Access to be utilized as e-Sword
modules (I hope that this is not considered a "curse word" here!).
Once the MS Access data was considered "up to snuff", it was extracted
and placed into MS Word as RTF text (in order to retain the
formatting, etc.) <br>
<br>
The data that I have includes 1) a plain text file Bible file (that
includes bolding and italics delimited by <b></b> and
<i></i>. This may have been what made vpn2mod choke.) 2)
a text file Bible file (that includes bolding and italics delimited by
<b></b>
and <i></i>, and red superscript footnote markers<sup><font
color="#ff0000">1</font></sup> (that with have to be changed to SWORD
footnote format).) and 3) a text file Commentary file (that includes
bolding and italics delimited by <b></b>
and <i></i>, Greek and Hebrew Unicode text, and red
superscript footnote markers<sup><font color="#ff0000">1</font></sup>
(that with have to be changed to SWORD footnote format).)<br>
<br>
When I changed my Bible text file to ...<br>
<br>
<font color="#000099">$$$Genesis 1:1<br>
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.<br>
$$$Genesis 1:2<br>
Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the
surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the
surface of the water.<br>
$$$Genesis 1:3<br>
God said, "Let there be light." And there was light!</font><br>
<br>
... it was imported using imp2vs. The thing that I noted here was that
the resulting OT and NT had an extraneous "line feed" at the end of
every line (i.e., (hex) 0A 0D 0A). These files were changed to
removed the first "line feed" character and placed in the
"\modules\texts\rawtext\net" folder. The .conf file (shown below) was
plasced in the "newmods" folder and The SWORD program was started. It
found the "new" module and installed it, but nothing showed up when I
tried to show either OT or NT chapters. What am I doing wrong?<br>

I have been involved in "IT" for 30+ years, but always for
multi-national corporations utilizing mid-range and main frame
computers, and, for the past 15-20 years, in a consulting capacity.
PC's have been a "hobby" until very recently and I have been going
through quite a steep learning curve. My last questions are how to
compress the module (I can't figure out the context of the mod2zmod
command) and how do I get these finished files into an "install" file?<br>
<br>
God Bless.<br>

to what Troy said, I would really recommend trying to encode the Bible
in OSIS. In order to encode notes, section titles, paragraphing,
references, etc., you'll have to use some kind of markup, and OSIS is
the markup format the Sword supports best.

words running together, plus, it also contains a lot of Matthew
verses. Could someone please spare a few minutes to help a SWORD

<br>
What are you using as your source? The HTML files available for
download or some other source?
<br>

<br>
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
<br>
Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the
surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the
surface of the water.
<br>
God said, "Let there be light." And there was light!
<br>
God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the
darkness.
<br>
God called the light "day" and the darkness "night." There was evening,
and there was morning, marking the first day.
<br>

<br>
Is this (everything following *Original Text*) the actual input to
vpl2mod? (I.e., there's no other markup and those are plain (0x20)
spaces that are being removed.)
