[osis-core] RE: What is happening

[Chris Little]

Just a couple of corrections here before I respond to the lastest 
chatter in the thread.

"AddEsth" does not refer to Greek Esther. Greek Esther = the contents of 
Esther ("Esth") plus the Greek additions to Esther ("AddEsth"). More on 
this in the next message.

"PssSol" is the Psalms of Solomon. "Ps2" in SFM refers to Psalm 151, 
which is just "Ps151" in OSIS, but ONLY if you're encoding that Psalm as 
a separate book. If it is just a part of the book of Psalms, then it 
would just be chapter 151 of "Ps".

> Your software does not process any number higher than the above

This line is probably the key to some of Patrick's confusion. Are you 
using Todd's (or some other) software to do a conversion? If that is the 
case, as I suspect, then you're really identifying a shortcoming of 
software that uses OSIS Core but not a shortcoming of OSIS Core itself.

I think this should be "Odes".

This is "PssSol".

The others are just versions of books for which we have already defined 
codes. See the SBL handbook or
