Thanks for the info. I just subscribed to the jsword-devel list so I
could find the cvs.

I am not finding it at Crosswire. I am very liking missing it somewhere.

There *is* Java code for reading Sword modules.
JSword is split between frontend and backend in a similar way to Sword,
so there is a JSword backend that reads Swor

You can try, but you will probably fail. It's not markup that poses a
problem. The markup is just other people's standards that we make use of.

If I am able I will write Squeak access to Sword Modules.
If that is not successful or possibly even if it is, I can interface the
Sword libraries as either a plugin or via FFI.
The Squeak frontend I want. How I access the Sword Modules is flexible.
Thanks.

The above statement was actually mine.
Sword will not be dropping any module formats as a result of OSIS. OSIS
is being used as an import form

With OSIS there is a spec to go by.
I could start there within Squeak. If I needed to interface the Sword
libraries then I could. I would have to be willing to limit access to
those platforms

The problem is not what is format of entries (e.g. OSIS), but the format but a
module (as a whole, the structure how it is split to entries).
Why we don't use a database library (db1/db2/db3, are to bloate
