Important license information. Please read before downloading.

XLingPaper depends on the XMLmind XML Editor so you must obtain the XMLmind XML Editor before you can use XLingPaper.

XMLmind offers a very generous Personal Edition License for the XMLmind XML Editor which, if you qualify, means that you can use it for free. If you do not qualify for the Personal Edition License, then you will need to purchase a Professional Edition from XMLmind.

For those of you who are a member of SIL International and are going to use the XMLmind XML Editor program on your own computer, you do qualify to use the Personal Edition. If you are not a member of SIL International, you may well qualify, but be sure to read the XMLmind XML Editor Personal Edition License carefully.

If you do not qualify, please follow these instructions on what to do.

If you qualify for the free Personal Edition of the XMLmind XML Editor, see below for instructions for installing the XMLmind XML Editor along with XLingPaper for your operating system.
