[sword-devel] Hello, I need help with the Sword Utilities

[christopher brown]

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. Here is some of what i have tried through the prompt

You are running osis2mod: $Rev: 2571 $
OSIS Bible/commentary module creation tool for The SWORD Project

usage: utils\osis2mod <output/path> <osisDoc> [OPTIONS]
  <output/path>		 an existing folder that the module will be written
  <osisDoc>		 path to the validated OSIS document, or '-' to
				 read from standard input
  -a			 augment module if exists (default is to create new)
  -z			 use ZIP compression (default no compression)
  -Z			 use LZSS compression (default no compression)
  -b <2|3|4>		 compression block size (default 4):
				 2 - verse; 3 - chapter; 4 - book
  -c <cipher_key>	 encipher module using supplied key
				 (default no enciphering)
  -N			 do not convert UTF-8 or normalize UTF-8 to NFC
				 (default is to convert to UTF-8, if needed,
				  and then normalize to NFC)
				 Note: UTF-8 texts should be normalized to NFC.
  -s <2|4>		 bytes used to store entry size (default is 2).
				 Note: useful for commentaries with very large
				 entries in uncompressed modules
				 (2 bytes to store size equal 65535 characters)
  -v <v11n>		 specify a versification scheme to use (default is KJV)
				 Note: The following are valid values for v11n:
					Catholic
					Catholic2
					German
					KJV
					KJVA
					Leningrad

					MT
					NRSV
					NRSVA
					Synodal
					SynodalP
					Vulg
  -d <flags>		 turn on debugging (default is 0)
				 Note: This flag may change in the future.
				 Flags: The following are valid values:
					0   - no debugging
					1   - writes to module, very verbose
					2   - verse start and end
					4   - quotes, esp. Words of Christ
					8   - titles
					16  - inter-verse material
					32  - BSP to BCV transformations
					64  - v11n exceptions
					128 - parsing of osisID and osisRef
					256 - internal stack
					512 - miscellaneous
				 This argument can be used more than once. (Or
				 the flags may be added together.)
