Greg, Thanks for this suggestion. I don't think I tried it. Based on the Crosswire wiki, I had assumed cipherraw was the correct tool.
For the moment my attention is on other projects, but it will come around again, as we will be creating a new set of modules in the
coming months.
The mission SIM does what they call Pastors' Bookset Projects, where they put together a set of books that are distributed in
Africa and other areas. In 2011-12 the last French bookset project distributed 18,000 sets of 34 books plus a DVD of the Online
Bible for Windows that had 750 books of which 200 were in French. We shipped 24 container loads of books.
The next project for pastors will use AndBible. The list of desired modules is being put together now. Most of the books are being
licensed for use in the project, and the desire is to distribute them in encrypted form to try to avoid them getting pirated to Europe. I
haven't heard what print books will be in the project.

Looking back through this - did you ever try mod2zmod? cipherraw, as explained above in the thread, has been absent from
SWORD for a long time. Encrypted modules are only supported in compressed forms.

I'm not sure why this message is showing up now. I posted it on 26 march 2019. The question still stands, as I have never
gotten a response about how to make encrypted Genbooks.
As to why I need the tools for Windows, I work with a very small group that is preparing a set of Bible study materials in
Sword to run on AndBible, targeted to French-speaking African pastors. The materials are mostly copyrighted, and we are
using the encryption feature of Sword to exert a bit of barrier against mass piracy outside of Africa. Our team uses Windows
10 workstations, and just want to create good working Sword modules.
With the advent of WSL2, I can conceivably see creating scripts that would run the Sword tools in the Linux subsystem. I
would appreciate it if somebody could point me to a tutorial for installing and using Sword under WSL2.
Even more valuable would be if somebody could show me how to build Windows executables of the tools from within WSL2,
which would eliminate the need for my coworkers to deal with installing WSL2 on their workstations.
Thanks.
John
