</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Here is what I have found: </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">1) xml2gbs.exe in xiphos-4.0.5-20170423-win32.exe does not create usable genbook modules -- they are missing the .idx and
.dat files, and who knows what else is not right.</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">2) libsword.dll in xiphos-4.0.5-20170423-win32.exe does not work with xml2gbs.exe in sword-utilities-1.7.0-1.zip. An entry point is
missing.</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">3) libsword.dll in sword-utilities-1.7.0-1.zip does not work with Xiphos. An entry point is missing.</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">4) however it is possible to install sword-utilities-1.7.0-1.zip in a different folder from Xiphos\bin, and everything works.</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">5) the executables of the utilities that are common to both Xiphos\bin and sword-utilities are different sizes and different ages. It
would be helpful to know which are the better tools, and it would be helpful if xml2gbs.exe in Xiphos worked correctly.</span></font></div>
