+biblegateway-to-OSIS
+====================
+
+Tools for retrieving bibles from biblegateway.com for use in AndBible
+
+The "scraper" tool is a Java app which will retrieve a bible translation for biblegateway.com and save it as an XML file
+in OSIS format.
+
+The "build" script will run a tool called osis2mod, which is part of the Sword project, to convert the OSIS file into 
+zText format, which is what AndBible can use.
+
+You will need to retrieve a copy of the Sword Utilities from 
+http://crosswire.org/ftpmirror/pub/sword/utils/win32/sword-utilities-1.6.2.zip. These are the only binaries I've found 
+that actually work on Windows. You may have an easier time on Linux.
+
+The "push" script will helpfully copy a finished package into the correct location on your phone, if it is plugged in 
+and AndBible is installed.
+
+This could all be rewritten as a web application, which I might well do some time, but I hope it may be helpful to anyone 
+who would desparately like to get translations like the NASB, NIV, NKJV, etc into AndBible.
+
+You'll need to do a bit of fiddling to get this all working, but hopefully it's easy enough.
