[HLUG] Scribus files

[info at lifespacedesign.co.uk]

Ta for this Jools,
 
Lack of backwards compatability is not a good thing, even in development
software. This begs the question of which is the most stable current release,
and is it backwards compatable to my existing .sla files.
I see a newer version of Scribus on the LXF dvd, I will have a look at that over
the weekend.
