+ yesterday, I tried the teenpup-2008 distro, which includes
XaraLX builtin... nice ! They have done a terrific job with
teenpup... it is fast... well put together... and - I found the
following, as suggested in title...
...teenpup-2008 also includes a version of Scribus which
is now fixed to allow direct import of PostScript files, which
XaraLX has long been capable of producing... hopefully, my
point is now made... we can now plunk our nice XaraLX graphics
directly_ after PS export_ into a PDFable document, with no
other conversion... I'll wait while you pick yourself up off the floor.

OK then(!).

While I have seen this somewhere before, and possibly even
reported such in this forum, for some reason this seemed important
to me, respecting the evolution of XaraLX as a more effective
graphics tool. No... it isnt direct export of SVG... but of course
PostScript is the original scalable format. It is also possible to
convert PS -to- SVG... something Id been doing prior to finding
this cool new teenpup-2008.

Again, please forgive my stumbling on this topic... its one I have
followed and commented or asked about since starting to use Xara
for Linux.
