-<h2>Scribus on OS/2 and eComStation</h2>
-Thanks to Paul Smedley, the Scribus Team is happy to provide a port of Scribus to OS/2 and its successor eComStation.
-
-<h2>Downloads</h2>
-<h3>Scribus 1.3.3.x Stable</h3>
-<p>The latest port of Scribus 1.3.3x is available from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus/">Sourceforge</a>. Please select the ZIP archive with "os2" in the file name for download. The archive contains a folder called "scribus," in which you find an installer called "scribus.exe".</p>
-<h3>Scribus 1.3.6+ Development</h3>
-<p>You can download a ZIP archive containing an installer for the development version either from</p>
-
-<p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.3.6/scribus-1.3.6-os2-20100329.zip/download">Sourceforge</a> or <a href="http://download.smedley.info/scribus-1.3.6-os2-20100329.zip">Paul Smedley's Unix Ports for OS/2 site</a>.</p>
-
-<h2>Other requirements</h2>
-<p>To run Scribus you need at least OS/2 Warp 4 or eComStation. Scribus will not run on older versions of OS/2.</p>
-<p>In addition, please note that you need to install the following software:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>A copy of libc063.dll, which can currently be downloaded from <a href="ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.zip">ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.zip</a> and gcc434.dll, which can be downloaded from <a href="http://download.smedley.info/gcc434.zip">http://download.smedley.info/gcc434.zip</a>. Both files need to copied to C:\OS2\DLL (OS/2) or C:\ECS\DLL (eComStation).</li>
-
-<li>Ghostscript and Python 2.6 (available from <a href="http://os2ports.smedley.info">http://os2ports.smedley.info</a>) are required to support some functionality. For instance, Python scripts won't work if Python is missing. The print preview and EPS import will not work if Ghostscript isn't available.
-
-If Scribus doesn't detect Ghostscript automatically, you can set the path to the GS exectutable (called "gsos2.exe") in the Scribus Preferences under "External Tools."
-</li>
-
-<li>Scribus 1.3.6 or later also requires the Qt4 GA dll's that can be downloaded as a WarpIn package from <a href="http://svn.netlabs.org/qt4">http://svn.netlabs.org/qt4</a></li>.
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Known issues</h2>
-<ul>
-<li>Printing support to "normal" OS/2 printers is not complete, but PDF export is. You can easily print via Acrobat Reader or another PDF viewer as a temporary workaround.</li>
-<li>Printing to CUPS printers is supported. <i>File > Print</i> will detect all available CUPS printers.</li>
-</ul>
-
