In reply to Chris Little: Hi,

Which would account for why the RSV appears encrypted having been extracted from its ZIP file, and contains more files than the KJV module. RSV: nt.bzs nt.bzc nt ot.bzs ot.bzv ot rsv.sgm Yes, I see what you mean. It isn't a perfectly straightforward decompression of each file. All the same, if anyone is willing to attach the relevant pieces of source code to an e-mail for me (or someone else) to examine now or in the future, with any other useful remarks, I would be grateful. Thank you all once again :-) Shalom, W.Simpson www.logosword.co.uk
