David:
I gave up on Microslop and Windoze years ago. So I am way out of date,
but even several years ago, Windoze would, for security reasons, restore
changed system files and delete foreign files unless certain settings
were made. C:\, was protected then, and maybe now.
I think you got hit by Windoze is smarter than you behavior. Try cd to
your "my documents" directory and repeat. If you see a 3 files, then
you have a Windoze problem. You should be able to break your script into
simpler steps and fix things.
Hope this helps.

I followed Timmy's sensible suggestion, which was something I'd pondered
myself already.
Now here's what I observed.
Files *lbc1646.dat* and *lbc1646.idx* appeared /momentarily/ in the
*Make* folder, but simply _vanished_ when *lbc1646.bdt* finished being
created.
Does anyone have a plausible explanation for such bizarre behaviour?
Were they moved to some unknown destination or simply deleted?
Best regards,

Hi David,
As Tom also mentioned, I run the command on linux, in your case, like
this:
..\utils64\xml2gbs -fO ..\Import\OSIS\OSIS-lbc1646.fix.xml lbc1646
Windows also can have issues if there are spaces in the path. I don't
know if your full path has any spaces, but you might want to try
running from c:\ directly, or some path that has no spaces.
After command runs, the 3 files are in current directory. If it does
not work on Windows then there might be wins problem, not sure.

Thanks Tom,
The module name is [LBC1646] (as specified in my .conf file), and
that points to the right module path.
This was the command in my CMD file, all of which are stored in a
folder called Make under my Sword path.
..\utils64\xml2gbs -fO ..\Import\OSIS\OSIS-lbc1646.fix.xml
..\modules\genbook\rawgenbook\lbc1646\lbc1646 2>..\Log\error.log
NB. utils64 is a symbolic link to where I installed the Windows
edition of Sword utilities (x64 version).
Likewise, the Import folder is one I created some years ago. The
Log folder is similar.
This command created the file called lbc1646.bdt in the right
place, but did not create the other two files.
And, yes, I've looked for them elsewhere too!
So am I doing something wrong or is there a deficiency in the
Windows edition of xml2gbs ?
Best regards,
David
