Hello Martin, >Start it (the X server).
Sorry, I don't even know what this is. >>>2.

The text you were staring at >*is* the file scribus.info <slightly exasperated> Please, be patient with me! I am trying to download the file. I reached the page where the file is. I read the instructions. The log view displays the revision history of the selected source file. For each revision the following information is displayed: * the revision number (clickable to download it) I click on the revision number. Only a new html page comes in. I ctrl-click on the revision number to save the related file to my disk : it is an html file! I look around and click on "download" and a new html page shows up. Finally, I ctrl-click on this "download" link and I can save the "scribus.info" file to my disk. IMHO, I cannot say the whole behaviour of the download links on that page is what an "ordinary user" would expect on the first place (but maybe I am wrong?). Nonetheless, I got the file and that's the most important. ;-) As I said previously, I am not at all a programmer. I should've added I am not a technician, nor developper either. Just a prepress professionnal... Thanks for the helpful hints. I will try to upgrade to 1.1.6 later on. Louis Desjardins > >-- >Martin -- MARDIGRAFE INC.
