Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Scribus ported to OS/2 & eComStation

Hi All,

I've just added an OS/2 & eComStation build of Scribus v1.3.3.6 
(http://www.scribus.net) to http://smedley.info/os2ports

Scribus is an open-source program that brings award-winning professional 
page layout to Linux/Unix, MacOS X and Windows desktops with a combination 
of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout.

Underneath the modern and user friendly interface, Scribus supports 
professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, separations, ICC 
color management and versatile PDF creation.

The OS/2 & eComStation build requires libc061.dll - which is available from 
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.1-csd1.zip

Known issues:
  - Scribus currently expects/demands to be in the root directory - ie \scribus
  - After exiting scribus, you'll see some errors about loading icon files 
in the standard output - these are under investigation
  - scribus plugins are currently not available
  - after adding text in a text box, the text isn't visible until a screen 
redraw is done - ie change zoom factor or middle mouse click to force a redraw
  - If a file called fonts.conf doesn't exist in %HOME%\fonts.conf, one 
will be created automatically when scribus.exe is run for the first time, 
however, Scribus will crash with signal 11.  On the 2nd attempt to load 
scribus.exe, it will load fine.

General feedback can be provided to paul at smedley.info, bug reports should 
go to http://mantis.smedley.info

If you like this software and want to support continued ports, please 
consider donating via PayPal via the link at http://smedley.info/os2ports, 
or via the Mensys online store at http://www.mensys.net/os2ports
