<!-- Introduction To Module Manager -->
<title>Introduction To The Module Manager</title>
<p>The "module" is the unit of content in <app>Xiphos</app>, and Sword
generally; a Sword module is a resource available for viewing in Sword
applications. There are several varieties: Most importantly, Bible texts, as
well as dictionaries and lexicons, commentaries, and general books, any of
which may include image content (e.g. atlases). They are installed either
from a local directory structure (typically on removable media, such as a
CDROM distribution) or remotely via ftp from a repository such as Crosswire,
which is the home of Sword, and from which all officially Sword-sanctioned
modules are available. Also, many other modules are available from
non-Crosswire repositories. In particular, there is the Xiphos repository,
containing a variety of otherwise-unofficial modules produced primarily by
contributors to <app>Xiphos</app> itself.</p>
<p>If you have other Sword applications installed, they will all share the
same set of Sword modules that you install through the Module Manager.</p>
