I requested the NABRE. Yes, if I understand correctly, the NAB is being phased out in religious education. Both the NAB and NABRE are sold by different publishers, so I think there's hope for a SWORD module. On Jun 11, 2011, at 3:22 PM, Mike Hart wrote: > Also note that the NAB is now old-ne

If my memory serves me correctly, The NRSV was formerly available from the University of Michigan in a single downloadable package (circa 1997ish). It was removed on request, I believe due to abuse (someone tried to add value (comments or section headings?) and offer the derivative work for sal

I think it important to state here that this is not just about a statement of faith on the website. The problem is that the RVR2011 appears to be intentionally mistranslated to support the theology described there. More specifically, John 1:1 reads "EN el principio era el Verbo, y el Verbo era

I would also like to say that if the main issue appears to revolve around character encodings and the Windows utils work while a hand-build Linux version fumbles on the encoding, it is very possible that the Linux built versions are lacking ICU, which I believe is used by SWORD to help with encodin

Mod2zmod requires that the (uncompressed) module be installed, either in the same place as all of your other modules or somewhere else within the SWORD path. Then you can use the module name as the modname parameter. The module name is the name in [ ] brackets at the beginning of the .conf. --C

Angel, When running a SWORD utility that takes a module as input parameter, the module name must be as already specified in the first line within the .conf file, and this is case-sensitive. NB. If you use imp2vs to make the module, you will not need to use mod2zmod. btw. Please read http://cros
