I'm not sure why this message is showing up now. I posted it on 26 march 2019. The question still stands, as I have never gotten a
response about how to make encrypted Genbooks.
As to why I need the tools for Windows, I work with a very small group that is preparing a set of Bible study materials in Sword to
run on AndBible, targeted to French-speaking African pastors. The materials are mostly copyrighted, and we are using the
encryption feature of Sword to exert a bit of barrier against mass piracy outside of Africa. Our team uses Windows 10
workstations, and just want to create good working Sword modules.
With the advent of WSL2, I can conceivably see creating scripts that would run the Sword tools in the Linux subsystem. I would
appreciate it if somebody could point me to a tutorial for installing and using Sword under WSL2.
Even more valuable would be if somebody could show me how to build Windows executables of the tools from within WSL2, which
would eliminate the need for my coworkers to deal with installing WSL2 on their workstations.
Thanks.
