The STEP utilities were started before we had a 'General Book' driver for the engine. Now that such a driver exist, it should be fairly trivial to write a STEP2GBS utility. Conversion was the aim of those tools, but you could also attempt to write a couple new low level STEP drivers to read the books directly. The larger issue will be with converting RTF to something more general like OSIS.
Have a look at the existing conversion utilities: sword/utilities, and also at the low level drivers at, e.g. sword/src/modules/text/rawtext (driver reading raw textfiles as data source). The conversion path seems to me a much easier approach, accomplishable in a much shorter time.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I have been looking for a STEP reader for MacOSX for a while and I was wondering what the state of the sword STEP reader was? I have had a poke at step2vpl and have almost got it to work on osx (endian issues), what I need to know is:
- What works and what is a good starting point?
- Where are the hooks in the sword code for implementing a new reader?
Thanks Graeme Nunn
