	Hi Yasini,

	You are absolutely correct, and that is a very reasonable reason
	not to run windows. Apologies if that was stated in your original
	mail as a motivation, and if I didn't pay attention :)

	It would therefore be best to attempt Wine/Crossover, and possibly
	learn Scribus.

	Cheers,
	Phil
