To use utilities Go to the Utilities Folder , Shift + Right Click >> Open Command Window Here You may need this power toy from microsoft for "Open Command Window Here" on XP, it exists by default in Windows 7 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=211471
Now you have Command Prompt opened in the utilities directory this is an example for Mod2Osis utility (Note It's Case Sensitive) This Command will convert the Installed KJV Module to Osis Xml file mod2osis kjv>kjv.xml ------------------------------------- Another utility to convert Osis to Module is osis2mod Command osis2mod Matt1 Matt.xml Matt1 is the output destination folder Matt.xml is the Osis Source text Again, it's case sensitive so Matt is NOT Equal matt Also it's better to install any sword frontend like Xiphos Best Regards, Pola From: christopher...@hotmail.com To: sword-devel@crosswire.org Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 18:09:40 -0500 Subject: [sword-devel] Hello, I need help with the Sword Utilities I have been trying to run the sword utilities for about a week now. i have tried to find information on the exact line to use in the command prompt i am running windows xp sp3, osis2mod wont run from the folder it is in, i have to run it from cmd. When i run it from the folder it appears breifly and dissappears, so i have to drag the exe to the command prompt, i dont know if this is normal. if someone could paste an example of what string to use to make a module that would be great.
