Hi Flora,

Thank you for your response. We are using the newest version of oxford_asl
v3.9.15 downloaded from the link you provided. This is running Fabber
v3.9.2-78-g7e4027c : Thu Jan 25 13:00:17 2018. Is this not the newest
version? If not, I may just have a problem with our paths but it appears to
be pulling from the new directory and not our FSL path.

Thank you
