Wolfgang,
I guess I wasn't clear enough. I think all detected errors should
produce a message. And what I didn't say, but meant to, was that I'll
output an error message for an unsupported BOM.

Hello,
here we see the difference between user centric programming and
ideological influence on how to make programms :))
On my opinion i would change osis2mod ( and also vpl2mod) so that it
isn't an obstacle for using in any situation.... BOM or not BOM.
However osis2mod should print out an error message at least if there
is a BOM, now it gives no meaningful hint if it fails in this case..

See http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#bom1. It indicates the

PowerPC
stores numbers in memory), or little-endian (the reverse and the
way intel
processors store numbers in memory).
Ian,
Thanks for the link. On the same page, it states that UTF-8 only
has a
single ordering of bytes. There is only one BOM appropriate for it:
EF BB
BF. As osis2mod only works for UTF-8 and cp1252 (Win Latin 1), the
presence
of it would be noise. If another BOM is present, I think osis2mod
should
fail.

Hello,
if the utf-8 OSIS file has a BOM ( Byte Order Mark some editors
insert one) Osis2Mod will fail to make a sword-modul, it were
nice if
this would be fixed, because it will cause lot of problems in
further
steps :(
What does a byte order mark mean for a UTF-8 file? Is it just
noise?
If it is just noise, the change is easy and I'll make it.
In Christ's Service,
