I am working on a personal implementation of Sword for Java (I use linux & winxp often). I know about the group working on Jsword, but I prefer to write things my own way under the GPL. The only thing though, is I can't find any module documentation. I first would like to start with the text modules, get those implemented, browseable, searchable, etc... Then get the other module types working. But, I can't figure out the module file formats. Some rawtexts look decently easy to parse, but I am clueless by the .vss files, other rawtexts look ugly like the NIV beta rawtext from the ftpsite.
Any starting blocks for these? I know a little C, no C++, and I really wouldn't enjoy reading though Sword code, figuring out how to parse the files.
