[Christoph Schäfer]

The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of the development version 
Scribus 1.3.6 for OS/2 Warp 4 and eComStation (http://www.ecomstation.com).

In addition to the information provided in the announcement for other 
platforms (see: http://www.scribus.net/?q=node/208), please note that the 
following requirements have to be met:

- 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).

- Ghostscript and Python 2.6 (available from http://os2ports.smedley.info) 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.

- It also requires the Qt4 GA dll's that can be downloaded as a WarpIn package 
from http://svn.netlabs.org/qt4.
