@Paul - thanks for the new (final?) build of Scribus 1.7.0. It works well, only issue seen I already mentioned about the double slash on the plugin names and errors about that in the console.
@Tellie - thanks for the 6.8 LibreCAD and Qucs. LibreCAD seems to work OK, but there is an exceptq crash if you choose 'Options'->'Current Document Options' then hit 'OK'. Qucs looks great - I do some circuit designing (for amps and microphones) so it would be quite handy! Do you know if there is an OS/2 version of 'ngspice' or any of the other simulators used?
Regards,
