See http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#bom1. It indicates the
encoding that the file is written in, be it big-endian (most
siginificant byte to least significant byte-- the way that we write,
and the way the PowerPC stores numbers in memory), or little-endian
(the reverse and the way intel processors store numbers in memory).
Ian,
Thanks for the link. On the same page, it states that UTF-8 only has a
single ordering of bytes. There is only one BOM appropriate for it: EF
BB BF. As osis2mod only works for UTF-8 and cp1252 (Win Latin 1), the
presence of it would be noise. If another BOM is present, I think
osis2mod should fail.
In Him,

Hello,
if the utf-8 OSIS file has a BOM ( Byte Order Mark some editors
insert one) Osis2Mod will fail to make a sword-modul, it were nice if
this would be fixed, because it will cause lot of problems in further
steps :(
What does a byte order mark mean for a UTF-8 file? Is it just noise?
If it is just noise, the change is easy and I'll make it.
In Christ's Service,
