Just as a note of interest I've played with Scribus under YDL 3.01, Gentoo
and X11 on OSX. I'm waiting for a new hard drive-bigger and faster for my
TiBook  before I install it under YDL-4.
It just keeps getting better and it would be good if it were ported to OSX
so that it wouldn't have to be run under X11.

Merry Christmas and thanks for all you've done for the community Dr. Clint!
