David:
You will have cd to a temporary directory xml2gbs as xml2gbs just puts
its output in the current directory, then copy files from that temporary
directory to your .sword library as below, along with your .conf file.
All three of those files are created simultaneously.
After you copy from the temporary directory, you should have a .conf
file in .sword/mods.d, (done manually), and then from your temporary
directory: in .sword/modules/genbook/rawgenbook/somemodulename the three
files *.bdt, *.dat, *.idx.
An images directory should be there also if there are images.
This is Linux. I do not know what Windoze will do.
Hope this helps.

---------------------> 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

I have just used xml2gbs to create a Generic book module for the first time.
It created a module file with extension .bdt in the right location.
All Generic book modules I've installed from CrossWire also have two more files
in the module folder.
One with extension .dat and one with .idx
I have not found anything on our wiki that describes what software tool is used
to create these two files, nor an explanation of what they are for.
Please would someone enlighten me.
Best regards,
David
