WELCOME TO THE PAGESTREAM 3.0b FREE UPDATE!
-------------------------------------------
There are 4 archive files for this update. The most you will need is three
of them. Only one is required for the actual update, and there are
separate versions of it depending on whether you are updating from 3.0 or
3.0a. The other two are optional depending on what you want to update.
PS3B01.LHA - you need this file to upgrade from 3.0
PS3BA1.LHA - you need this file to upgrade from 3.0a
PS3B2.LHA - includes additional DMF fonts (see below)
PS3B3.LHA - includes updated help files and macro definitions
All archives contain installation scripts to install their files. You MUST
have PageStream 3.0 or 3.0a, as applicable, properly installed on your
hard drive to use these installers, and you MUST have disk 1 of your
original PageStream3 disk set available.
NOTE: The installer in this archive will overwrite your current
PageStream3.Macros file. If you have macros in it you wish to keep, make
a backup copy of your file before using this installer. After installation,
run PageStream3 and append your old Macros file to the new one. Remove
redundant entries as required.
DMF fonts: the 3.0 and 3.0a releases of PageStream included DMF font files
for the standard 35 set, less Times and Helvetica (Triumvirate) which are
included in Compugraphic format. Only one DMF file was included for each
font family. The PS3B2.LHA archive contains the remaining DMF files so
that you can print these fonts to all types of printers. So if you want to
print bold or italic versions of these fonts, you need the DMF font files
in the PS3B2.LHA archive.
As always, this update is available for purchase from Soft-Logik sales for
our normal $10 disk fee. Please enclose $5 shipping and handling for the
US and Canada, and $15 for other countries. Write, fax or phone the
address and phone numbers on the back of your PageStream3 manual to order.

CHANGES FROM 3.0a TO 3.0b
TEXT:
- Text entry and formatting is 50% faster in this version. Yes, it is still
way too slow, but it's getting there.
- Paragraph Format: Left/First/Right Indent are now implemented.
- Ctrl C and D special character shortcuts are now implemented.
- Insert Character works again.
- Default tab spacing has been implemented.
- Cut/Copy/Paste in frameless text objects works now.
- Keyboard shortcuts for moving the insertion point in frameless text
objects have been implemented.
- Edit palette arrow gadgets for text size, width, tracking and leading
can now be used with a Shift key for greater precision.
- Fixed the Convert Case commands.
- Pasting a text wrapped object now updates text frames overlapping it.
- Note: some Text Wrap methods which worked in 3.0a have been disabled for
this release. They will return next time.
- Fixed the displaying of PS or DMF fonts at low magnifications or very
small sizes on screen which would offset them from their baseline.
- Fixed Times Bold/Italic reversal on PostScript printers.
- Fixed ASCII, FTXT, Excellence and Final Writer filters for problems
caused by converting more than 11 dashes.
- Double spacing between sentences no longer permits the 2nd space to fall
at the beginning of a line.
- Fixed all known problems for printing Compugraphic fonts to PostScript.
- Linked frames on the same page should now update properly.
- Fixed leading problem when the previous line had a larger point size.
- Fixed problems with leading options in the Edit palette.
PRINTING:
- Fixed color HP.printer DeskJet problems.
- Fixed HP.printer PaintJet problems.
- New Fargo.printer driver for the Primera wax thermal and dye sublimation
printer. (This will not work with the Primera Pro.)
- Improved Epson.printer color printing to decrease saturation.
- Corrected A4 paper size in HP.printer and Epson.printer.
- Print requester options will now remain set from one print job to the
next during the current session.
- Improved ordered dithering for HP, Epson and IFF ILBM printer drivers.
- PostScript: error handler is now off as the default. If you have saved
your settings, you can speed up printing by turning off the error
handler in Printing Preferences and then saving your settings again.
- Fixed color PostScript printing of certain pictures.
- Fixed display and printing of the bold and italic variations of the
standard 35 fonts, by adding DMF files for these fonts. (This requires
the PS3B2.LHA archive.)
- Fixed some problems printing drawings to PostScript.
- Fixed printing multiple frames on one page to PostScript.
- Fixed some non-standard character PostScript printing for resident fonts
and for downloaded Adobe Standard Encoded fonts. The characters include
typographic quotation marks, British Pound sign, bullet, ellipsis,
ligatures, en and em dashes, daggers, etc. The remaining characters and
other font types will be completed in 3.0c.
- Fixed HP.printer printing when the paper size was greater than 8.5x11".
PAGESTREAM2 DOCUMENT LOADING:
- If you converted 2.2 documents to 3.0 with previous versions of 3.0,
each article will really be one paragraph. (New Line codes were inserted
instead of New Paragraphs. Refer to page 168 for info on new lines vs
new paragraphs.) This is somewhat important, because paragraph spacing
cannot be used if the entire article is one paragraph, and things like
automatic drop caps and bullets will only appear at the start of the
article. You can fix this by positioning the insertion point at the
start of each 'paragraph' (new line), then pressing Backspace and then
Return. Alternatively, if you haven't already made a change to the
document in 3.0, simply reload the 2.2 document into 3.0b to convert it
properly.
- Text was being loaded with Track table set to Normal, which could change
line breaks. It now loads with Track table set to None.
- Fixed the problem with PageStream2 text frames having multiple columns
on loading.
MACROS & AREXX:
- added the sendtopageliner script.
MISC:
- Loading a 3.0 document now preserves double-sided master page.
- PageStream 2.2 documents now load unnamed.
- Changed AmigaDOS 2.x color allocation to be more stingy with colors.
- Text frame backgrounds now default to transparent instead of opaque. If
you have saved your Toolbox Preferences, you can change this and then
save your settings again.
- Settings/Screen: if the Display DPI text gadgets are blank, PageStream
will use the default resolution for most standard screen modes now. This
is convenient if you often switch between screens of different standard
resolutions. If you enter values, it won't switch automatically.
- Problems with moving drawings containing groups and lines are resolved.
- Several of the filters have been reduced in size to save memory.
- Fixed problems with master pages renaming to default.
- Added a busy pointer when showing font samples.
- Added the ability to change PageStream3's interface colors. Refer to the
Screen option in the Interface topic group in the main PageStream3 Help
screen for more information. You must download the PS3B3.LHA archive to
get the new version of the help files.
- The Visual Reference gadgets in the Help system did not work under
AmigaDOS 2.x. The new help files in the PS3B3.LHA archive fix this
problem. Depending on when you received PageStream3 and whether you had
AmigaGuide on your system already, the WDisplay utility may not have been
installed in your Sys:Utilities directory. If it is not there and you have
AmigaDOS2, you should decompress it from the Guide.LHA archive on your
original disk 2.
BME
- New Emboss and Sharpen effects have been added! Refer to the help system
for information. (The new help files are included in the PS3B3.LHA
archive.)
NOTES:
- You cannot rotate/slant/twist Compugraphic fonts beyond 50 degrees in
either direction at this time. (This includes rotating Compugraphic
fonts in frameless text objects.) Other font formats can be rotated
without restriction.
