Hello! I'm looking for DiapDealer to ask about Sigil x86 edition, but theme is closed
My name is Serge, I'm newbie in book and manual translation, My project is translating music software and hardware manuals for musicians, who can't read on english then didn't use all possabilities of their software and hardware for most powerful making an art of music. I'm doing it on travel from work to home using a one and only really pocket x86 PC - Sony P-series laptop.

Sad thing now. I love my P-Series VAIO, but it's very silly in computing power (It's made on ATOM processor family) and it works well only on Windows XP. It's really good and comfortable to translate on it, using Word 2010 for text writing and correction and STDU viewer for look on original PDF. But when it's time to convert final work to epub, I'm in throuble. I should transfer my docx file to my home computer, and there is Sigil, but there I have not enough time to finish work, home routine, childs and wife, you know, it's more time in transport with my P-Series laptop. I hope I found the reason - DiapDealer unofficialy had relesing old versions of Sigil, compiling it on the x86 libraries, what work on x86 Windows XP Platform, but now that repository is not accesseble, and I found no another place with that releases in the Internet. If it possible, I want to get a copy of that last and, maybe old releases to try to use it on my lovely x86 P-laptop for a good job, useful for alot of musicians worldwide.

Thank you, DiapDealer, and all the people!
