-<p>So, that&rsquo;s how the Scribus documentation started, but as Scribus attracted more developers, and the more ambitious the project became, the less maintainable the documentation appeared to be for a single person. As is natural with successful Open Source projects, more people volunteered to expand the scope of information available about Scribus. It started with the <a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Main_Page">Scribus Wiki</a>, an ongoing successful collaborative effort, mostly written by users for users, and reached a climax with the publication of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Scribus-Open-Source-Publishing-Christoph-Sch%C3%A4fer/dp/0956078001/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1289106422&sr=1-1">Official Scribus Manual</a>.</p>

As is natural with successful Open Source projects, more people volunteered to expand the scope of information available about Scribus. It started with the <a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus">Scribus Wiki</a>, an ongoing successful collaborative effort, mostly written by users for users, and reached a climax with the publication of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Scribus-Open-Source-Publishing-Christoph-Sch%C3%A4fer/dp/0956078001/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1289106422&sr=1-1">Official Scribus Manual</a>.</p>
 <p>But the documentation efforts didn&rsquo;t stop with the publication of a printed book, quite the contrary! A review of the available documentation showed that many documents, while appropriately describing Scribus&rsquo;s features at the time they were written, needed an update to reflect the vast number of features in Scribus that had been added in the meantime, whereas some workarounds for Linux-related issues simply aren&rsquo;t necessary any longer on modern Linux desktops.</p>
 <p>The growing complexity of Scribus also collided with the original concept of the documentation, which can be described as as a mix of a diary and a field report, with some additional elements of a manual for sysadmins. This approach was undoubtedly necessary at the time the original documentation was written, as Scribus was first and foremost a Linux program back then. Fortunately, the Linux desktop is very user-friendly these days, and Scribus has been ported to other platforms as well.</p>
 <p>As a result, the Scribus documentation can now focus on a more structured approach, which will provide much more information about the practical use of the program. The priceless background information from Peter Linnell in the original documentation will naturally survive, albeit in another form, i.e., it will be spread across those documents for which the respective information seems applicable. And of course Peter Linnell is still <b>mrdocs</b>, which is yet another reason to have great expectations when it comes to further improvements to the Scribus documentation&nbsp;...</p>

For the time being, let's stay in the default tab of this dialog, which is called &ldquo;X,Y,Z&rdquo;. The more complex a document is, the more useful it is to give each object a unique name. It will make it easier to find and to select it later on. Not surprisingly, we'll call our Shape &ldquo;Background&rdquo;.
 
 </p><p>Next, make our rectangle match the size of the page. Remember the values we chose for the page? Insert them here, but first don't forget to click on the chain symbol to the right of the boxes for changing the values for width and height.

+<p>To use Scribus on OS/2 and eCS, the following requirements have to be met:
 <ul>
-<li>A copy of libc063.dll, which can currently be downloaded from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.zip, and gcc434.dll, which can be downloaded from http://download.smedley.info/gcc434.zip. 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 http://os2ports.smedley.info) are required to support some functionality. For instance, Python scripts won&rsquo;t work if Python is missing. The print preview and EPS import will not work if Ghostscript isn&rsquo;t available.</li>

+<li>Note that all of the abovementioned libraries are available as WarpIn packages from http://www.netlabs.org. To successfully install all *.wpi files, you need to have at least WarpIn 1.0.15 installed.</li>

 </ul>
 </p>
+
+<h4>Installation</h4>
+<p>The Scribus version for OS/2 and eCS is not being shipped with an installer. All you need to do is download the ZIP file from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/">Sourceforge</a> (the OS/2 and eCS version is the ZIP file with &ldquo;OS2&rdquo; in the file name) and unzip the archive to wherever you want. Then enter the extracted <code>SCRIBUS-1.4.x-OS2-date\scribus</code> directory, where &ldquo;x&rdquo; is a placeholder for the respective Scribus version number, and &ldquo;date&rdquo; stands for the creation date of your Scribus version, e.g. <code>20110128</code> (=28 January 2011) and double-click the <code>scribus.exe</code> file. You can also start Scribus from the command prompt.</p>
+<p><i>Note that you have to extract the content of the ZIP file to a partition that uses a file system which supports long file names. FAT16 does <b>not</b> support long file names, while the existing FAT32 or even NTFS file system drivers for OS/2 and eCS are experimental at best, so the safest bet is to use a native IBM file system like HPFS (the OS/2 and eCS default FS) or JFS.</i></p>
+
+<h4>Installing and Configuring Ghostscript</h4>
+<p>Like Scribus, Ghostscript doesn&rsquo;t come with an installer. Simply download and extract the ZIP file from the link mentioned above. To configure Scribus for the use of Ghostscript, open the <i>File > Preferences</i> dialog in Scribus, then go to the &ldquo;External Tools&rdquo; tab. Under &ldquo;PostScript Interpreter&rdquo; you can either enter the path to the Ghostscript executable file manually or use the file dialog by clicking on &ldquo;Change&nbsp;...&rdquo;. The name of the executable is <code>gsos2.exe</code>, and it&rsquo;s located in the subdirectory <code>\bin</code>, so the path to the file may look like this: <code>X:\GHOSTSCRIPT-900-OS2-date\GS900OS2\bin\gsos2.exe</code>.</p>
 
 <h4>Known issues</h4>
 <p>

 <h3>Scribus on Windows</h3>
-<h4>Historical Background</h4>
-
-<p>Scribus was originally developed on and for Linux, but over time it has been ported to other platforms like Mac OS X or Windows, so sometimes things work in a rather OS-neutral way.</p>
-
-<h4>Downloading Scribus for Windows</h4>
-<p>The latest Windows installers can be downloaded from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/">Sourceforge</a>.</p>
 
 <h3>Hardware/Software Minimum Requirements:</h3>
 <p>
 <ul>
-<li>Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP, Vista or 7 are supported. Windows 98 and ME have not been tested and are <b>not supported</b>. Any and all bug reports relating to Windows 9X will be closed quickly. </li>
-<li>512MB RAM or more is strongly recommended &ndash; the more, the better. </li>
-<li>Pentium III or better &ndash; 750MHz or better</li>
+<li>Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP, Vista or 7 are supported. Windows 98 and ME are <b>not supported</b>. </li>
+<li>512 MB RAM or more is strongly recommended &ndash; the more, the better. </li>
+<li>Pentium III or better &ndash; 750 MHz or better.</li>
+<li>Scribus only is available in 32-bit versions for Windows. This has not been shown to be an issue on any 64-bit system, and requires no special preparation or after-installation adjustments.</li>
 <li><i>It is strongly recommended to disable any custom desktop themes. If you encounter any strange behaviour, like no document appearing on screen, use the &ldquo;Windows Classic&ldquo; theme. There is a known Qt issue with custom themes causing document loading problems. This is especially true with third party themes.</i></li>
 </ul>
 </p>
 <h3>Before Installing Scribus</h3>
 <ul>
-   <li>Install Ghostscript for Windows - <a href="http://ghostscript.com/releases/">Ghostscript 8.7+</a> or later is recommended. This is important for EPS import. Note: After installing there are two .exe files installed by the installer. The correct .exe name to use in the Scribus Preferences (under <i>External Tools</i>) for Ghostscript is <code>gswin32c.exe</code>, <b>not</b> <code>gswin32.exe</code>. In the large majority of cases <b>if</b> Ghostscript is properly installed before installing Scribus, Scribus will automatically detect the location for Ghostscript for you.</li>

The correct .exe name to use in the Scribus Preferences (under <i>External Tools</i>) for Ghostscript is <code>gswin32c.exe</code>, <b>not</b> <code>gswin32.exe</code>. In the large majority of cases <b>if</b> Ghostscript is properly installed before installing Scribus, Scribus will automatically detect the location for Ghostscript for you. This having been said, Ghostscript is not essential to the use of Scribus for most purposes. If you have not installed Ghostscript, when you run Scribus you will get a warning and a link to help you get it, but you can choose not to add this external tool.</li>
    <li>Scribus is <b>very</b> intolerant of poorly constructed or marginal grade fonts. Once installed, please read the font setup section in the documentation carefully. Scribus may and often will refuse to load fonts which do not follow the True Type, Type 1 and OpenType specifications properly. What this means in plain English is that freeware fonts may work in other programs, but will be rejected by Scribus when starting. Some of the information is Linux-specific, but has detailed explanations as to why poor quality fonts will cause problems. </li>
  </ul>

 <p>These are our top ten hints for using Scribus, in (some sort of) order:</p>
 
 <ul>
-<li><strong>Get the latest 7.0.x or 8. Adobe Reader&#174; installed.</strong><br /> Without this, is it impossible to open PDFs from Scribus and see all the features Scribus can create within a PDF. Plus, it renders PDF better than most any other viewer. In the future more documentation for Scribus will be in PDF format, optimized for display in Acro Reader. <a href="toolbox1.html">More details..</a></li>

 <li><strong>Tool Tips</strong><br />When, you are unsure of a function, <strong>use tool tips</strong>. While it is not 100% complete, a great many of the GUI functions have extensive tool tips to guide you about each option for a given function, especially more complex ones. To enable tool tips, make sure <strong>Help &#062; Tooltips </strong>is checked. Then hover your mouse over the check box or GUI option.</li>
 <li><strong>Use guides</strong><br /> to help visually align things in your document. Guides are invisible rulers you can place on the canvas to align different text boxes, as well as centering objects. In almost every document, I create a vertical guide to split the page in two. Then you can use this guide to center objects much easier.</li>
 <li><strong>Use the "nudge" tool.</strong> Select an object and then use the arrow keys to move object a tiny bit at a time - .01 in, or .01 mm. Shift and Ctrl + Shift + Arrow will change the distance per 'nudge'</li>
