The screening nature of the potential between external quarks in massl
ess SU(N-c) QCD(2) is derived using an expansion in N-f - the number o
f flavors. Applying the same method to the massive model, we find a co
nfining potential. We consider the N = 1 super Yang Mills theory, reve
al certain problematic aspects of its bosonized version and show the a
ssociated screening behavior by applying a point splitting method to t
he scalar current. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
