Thanks for your reply. I ran an old and unworking
script of my own devising. It errored off but not
before revealing the latest (I think) revision
number. I patched that into jluc's script and ran
it. 

It still shows the old date on the splash screen
but claims to be revision 20343.

Is there a particular feature that was added or
changed in the latest remit? That would be a way
for me to check to see if I really have the
latest and greatest 1.5.1.

Why is this important to me? Well in between
customer jobs I am redoing my 2009 pdf e-book
"Create Book Covers with Scribus." By the time I
finish it 1.6.0 will be here or close to being
here. I can write it to cover both 1.5.0 and 1.6.0
if necessary. Given the limited amount of Scribus
features I use in the ebook (later p-book) the
latest version of 1.5.1 will tell me enough about
1.6.0 to cover the scene. The major changes
affecting cover design will be in the very
different user interface and that is present
already in 1.5.1.

Thanks for your help and thanks again to Jluc
for his  compile script.
