Can't seem to find that Readme. I started from here: http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Download Following the only 1.5.0 pointer on that page I got as far as this page and then things just stalled. Working from my Slackware partition and using Firefox 4. http://scribus.net/websvn/listing.php?repname=Scribus&path=%2Ftrunk%2FScribus%2Fwin32%2F&rev=#ad0b0630b8f4859cb116bc105a5ca4b02 Nothing seems to work beyond that point. Now why am I fussing about 1.5.0 and Windows? Well 1.5.0 has one vital feature to all users of the POD printer LSI, the availablilty of PDF X/1-a:2001 output. And while 1.5.0 is available for Linux users (I update it every night) it does not seem to be readily available to Win users. And Win users make up a large part of the market of my p-book which will replace my e-book listed below. So my thanks to Craig and a.l.e but I am not there yet. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
