<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Greg,</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Thanks for your reply. I was wondering if there was someone in the wider community that had tried to use WSL with Sword, because I am on the verge of wanting to try it myself.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Given that there is not an official Windows build of the utilities, and that our team is dependent on creating Sword modules in Windows, I am to the point of wanting to establish our
own capability of building the tools for Windows. I could set up a Linux machine, but my available workspace is maxed out, and so I had the idea of using WSL.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">As for whether or not the osis2mod in Subversion is working correctly or not, I can't answer that question if I don't have a Linux installation, hence my question about WSL. The Windows
version of osis2mod in the latest distribution of Xiphos is NOT working correctly as far as I can tell. Our modules do not have linked verse ranges, whereas that was working correctly with osis2mod version 2893 (but which doesn't have the French versifications
that we need).</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Theoretically if an installation in WSL can be used to create modules, that might be a solution for our team instead of using the Windows utilities. It depends on how easily and reliably
such installations can be set up and maintained on our Windows workstations.</span></font></div>

<font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">I am getting desperate for a build of osis2mod for windows that correctly handles verse range linking in commentaries. The current version 3141 in Xiphos does not link all verses in a verse range to
the commentary for that range.</span></font></div>

<font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">I brought up this problem several months ago. I have been waiting patiently. I still do not see any updated utilities in the usual places.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Is this problem fixed in Subversion? If it's not fixed there, you'll not see an update to the Windows utils that reflect the fix.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">If it is, then you'll need to wait until I curate a 1.8.2 release that includes the relevant patches. At that point I'll make a new build of the Windows utilities in the Fedora MinGW
toolchain, then create a release of the utils to my own download area.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Just a friendly reminder: there are NO official Windows builds of the utilities. Anything that exists in the Windows world for the utils exists solely from my hands. And I own neither
a Windows machine nor do I contribute at all to the development of the utils. I only curate the release branches and do the builds for the Fedora packages, including the MinGW version. Those versions are identical to the Xiphos for Windows release, which simply
package up the same files from my same builds. The only official versions of the utilities are built directly from Subversion on Linux hosts.</span></font></div>
