That version receives frequent security upgrades so I will probably download a current file today. For Scribus I have recent versions of: 1.4.6 that takes 12,940,770 bytes, 1.5.0 that takes 18,514,209 bytes, 1.5.1 that takes 18,455,161 byes. The improvements in the 1.5.x series are well worth the bother of installation, I do note that with all open source programs that I use the Apple Mac versions seem to get more installation and runtime complaints than the MSWin and Linux versions. Mac users just have to live with this limitation. Linux users seem to complain most about getting the latest versions from their particular Linux distributions. I solve that one by compiling from source. Different strokes for different folks. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Book layout, typesetting and Indexing Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html
