PAGESTREAM 2.21 TO PAGESTREAM 2.22 (US VERSION) PATCH PROGRAM

The files included in this archive can be used to convert your
PageStream 2.21 to the new PageStream 2.22.


IF YOU HAVE AT LEAST 1.1 MB of free RAM:

Uncompress this archive. Store all the files in ram: and copy
the PageStream2 (version 2.21) program file to ram:

Open a shell. Type the following commands:

   cd ram:
   lpatch -oPageStream2.22 -pPageStream2.pch PageStream2

This will take a few minutes. Now type the following commands:

   delete PageStream2
   rename PageStream2.22 PageStream2

You are all done. Copy the new PageStream 2 to your working
disk or hard drive directory.


IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 1 MB OF FREE RAM:

Uncompress this archive into ram: and delete the original lha
file. Put a working copy of your disk (un-write protected) with
PageStream2 (version 2.21) in df0:

Open a shell. Type the following commands:

   cd ram:
   lpatch -oPageStream2.22 -pPageStream2.pch df0:PageStream2

This will take a few minutes. Now type the following commands:

   copy PageStream2.22 df0:PageStream2
   delete PageStream2.22

You are all done. Your working copy of the PageStream2 program
disk now has a copy of PageStream 2.22.


IMPORTANT NOTES!!!

After uncompressing this archive, the PageStream2.pch file should
be 138616 bytes. Your original PageStream2 program file (version
2.21) should be 443212 bytes. If the PageStream2.pch file is not
the right number of bytes, you had a bad download. If the
original PageStream2 program file is not the right number of
bytes, you do have PageStream2 (version 2.21 US). If you have the
UK version (you can tell it's UK from the About requester) you
need the UK version of this patch.

When you are done, the new PageStream2 (version 2.22) file should
be 441508 bytes.


CHANGES FROM 2.21 to 2.22

This is a very minor upgrade intended mainly for owners of AGA
Amiga computers (A1200 and A4000). PageStream2.21 could open on
any Workbench screen, up to 256 colors, but could only open on
custom screens up to 16 colors. This is changed in 2.22 to a
maximum of 256 colors. To see the number of colors for a custom
screen, you need to change the tooltypes for PageStream (see
the manual for more info) to:

   SCREEN=custom
   COLORS=#

   where # is 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256.

Note that bitmap pictures are displayed in black and white in
PageStream 2.

Note that to open PageStream2 on a DOUBLENTSC or DOUBLEPAL
screen, instead of the default HI-RES INTERLACE screen, you
must toggle on MODE PROMOTION with the IPREFS preferences
program.

VERY, VERY IMPORTANT!!!

PageStream 2.22 uses the bottom four colors for the interface
colors. PageStream 2.21 and earlier used the bottom two colors
and the top two colors. If you install PageStream 2.22 and do
not delete your prefs file, PageStream 2.22's interface colors
will look odd. Change the bottom four colors to:

   color 0: (default is gray  R10 G10 B10)
   color 1: (default is black R0  G0  B0 )
   color 2: (default is white R15 G15 B15)
   color 3: (default is blue  R6  G8  B11)

You can change the screen colors manually with the Change
Screen Colors command.

The reason for this change is to adapt to the new Amiga standard.
In color modes above 4, highlighting of the toolbox icons and
gadgets may be odd (depending on your other screen color
choices). In the next version of PageStream, the change to the
new color system will be completed.


IMPORTANT!!!

More changes are coming this year to PageStream. To ensure you
find out about them, register your copy of PageStream today. We
constantly release new modules like the new Final Copy and Art
Expression import modules, and the new HP4 printer driver, and
without registering you'll be left in the dark.

If you are applying this patch to a 'borrowed' copy of
PageStream, purchase a legal copy today. Amiga software
companies will disappear unless you purchase the software you
use. We try to keep our prices low to make it easier to buy our
software.
