I've added STEP Bible to our registry of known remote SWORD publishers,
but I've tested a refresh in Bishop and it hangs on STEP Bible. I've
tested using the latest sword/utilities/installmgr CLI tool and it works
OK. I'll leave it in for a 24 hours. Please report your findings.

Dear Troy,
The underlying problem is that the STEP Bible repository was never
added to the CrossWire Master Repository List.
Until that’s done, the only way users can test it is when a front-end
permits manually adding a remote repository. Xiphos can do that, but
I don’t know if any other app can.
Best regards,
David

Hi David and Troy,
Mark and David passed this along to me to look into. We thought that
STEPBible's modules were available for others to access, but if we
have something misconfigured, please let me know.
On the Official_and_Affiliated_Module_Repositories
<https://wiki.crosswire.org/Official_and_Affiliated_Module_Repositories#STEP_Bible>
page we have the following information:
Site Name: STEP Bible
Site Machine Name: ftp.stepbible.org <http://ftp.stepbible.org>
Repository Directory: /pub/sword
Catalog Directory: /pub/sword
ZIP Directory: /pub/sword/zip
Below is a transcript of a connection to the ftp server from my
Linux workstation. If there is something specific that I can test,
that would be great.
Thank you,

Dear Darcy
David Haslam of Crosswire asked Mark (below) if our module
repository could be made compatible with other Sword software.
I thought it was! Presumably he means that programs like Zophos
can't pick up modules from our repository.
Do you know what he means by this problem?
All the best
David IB
I was excited about Patrick's info on the grammar features
working with the ESV_morph and posted something to my own
Facebook page after I posted it on our STEPBible Users page.
David Haslam asked in a reply to my post:
Is there any chance that the Bible modules hosted by STEP
Bible could be maintained in a compatible online repository
such that other SWORD and JSword front-end apps could
install them therefrom ?
For further details, please visit wiki.crosswire.org
<http://wiki.crosswire.org/> and see the page about
“Official and Affiliated Module Repositories”.
Section 2.6 already describes STEP Bible but the section
hasn’t been updated for several years, so it may now need
updating.
The Master Repositories List (MRL) hosted by CrossWire still
does not include an entry for STEP Bible.
To request that this should be added, please send an email
to Troy A. Griffitts - CrossWire’s founder.
Please DM me for his address if you don’t have it.
What do you think about this?
Mark
