[scribus] Scribus 1.3.5 and use of pantone colours in Scribus

[Julian Robbins]

Hi

In the Scribus 1.3.5 review in LGW
http://www.libregraphicsworld.org/articles.php?article_id=9, Alexandre
mentions a technique to import pantone colour palette. I tried this,but
it doesnt quite give enough detail to work.

I registered and downloaded The MyPantone free app. and yes it does work
under WINE. But how do you get it to save colours into a format that
Scribus can import ? You can save in various formats for Indesign,
Illustrator, even Coreldraw, but they are in bin formats such as .acb

I'm sure this will be useful for many others, so i would appreciate some
clarification
