Glad it worked well. CVS on the Mac is a little weird to use.

I was going to put some more work into the GUI, but RL things kept me from
it. Plus, I figured there must be someone out there who knows PowerPlant and
can do it much better, nicer and faster than I could. :-) I'll gladly
offload all the GUI design to someone else.

Strange. http://scribia.sourceforge.net/ is simply a redirect to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribia/ - and it works for me.

Once you've successfully compiled it, I'll send an email to a few CL lists
calling for developers. (If you have the time, try to document problems you
have compiling Scribia, I'll put them in the README.)

All the language trainers. Marsh hermit. New mystic/general trainers that
may have appeared. I'm pretty sure it scans all the fighter/healer trainers
correctly.

I've also set up the scribia-developers mailing list on sourceforge. We
should probably start using it for all our exchanges, since it's archived.

Two other little things: One, the copyright in all the files right now says
"Lark". I will change this to "The Scribia Development Group" or something
like it soon, or simply use all the names of the project admins. Two, I will
give you and other interested people who'll put some time into Scribia
read/write CVS access and project admin permissions as needed.
