Short: PageStream 3.3 to 3.3a patch Author: SoftLogik Publishing, Inc. Uploader: Matt_H amiga org Type: text/dtp Architecture: m68k-amigaos WELCOME TO THE PAGESTREAM 3.3a Patch! ------------------------------------- This is a freely distributable patch from PageStream3.3 to PageStream3.3a. TO USE THIS PATCH: 1. This update requires disk 1 of your original PageStream3 disk set. It will not be modified by the update. 2. You must have sufficient free hard drive space to use this patch. 4MB of free space is recommended. 3. Download both files and decompress them to the same directory before installing. USING THIS PATCH IF YOU HAVE 5MB OR MORE OF FREE RAM, you can decompress the archives to RAM and not worry about memory limitations. IF YOU HAVE 4MB OF FREE RAM, you can decompress the archives to RAM, but you must delete the archives from RAM before running the patch. (Copy them somewhere safe in case you need them again!) IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 4MB OF FREE RAM, you must decompress the archives to a hard drive directory because you'll need all your RAM for the patch. A drawer called "3.3a" will be created when you decompress the archive. Double click on the Install-3.3a icon in this drawer to begin. YOU SHOULD KEEP A COPY OF THE PATCH FILES UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED THIS UPDATE IN CASE YOU NEED TO RUN IT AGAIN! If you delete them after decompressing them, and something goes wrong during patching, you will have to download them again! If you have adequate hard drive space, simply select the PageStream3 directory and choose Copy from the Workbench's Icon menu to make a complete duplicate of your PageStream3 directory. If you have a problem with the patch, you will have a backup to restore. LOW MEMORY NOTES If you do not have enough memory to install this patch (the patch utility will fail if there is not enough free memory), you can conserve memory by decompressing the patch archives to your hard drive instead of to RAM:. If the patch fails due to low memory, you will not be able to use PageStream3 until you have successfully installed the patch because you will then have a mixture of new and old files. If you need to run the patch manually, decompress the PGSpatch.LHA archive. Use the spatch utility from this archive. The command syntax is: spatch -oPageStream3:PageStreamNew -pPageStream.pch PageStream3:PageStream3 The first parameter is the new version, the second parameter is the patch file name (include the path if required), and the third parameter is the currently installed version of PageStream3. Delete the old PageStream3:PageStream3 file when you're done and then rename the new version to the normal name (ie, PageStreamNew to PageStream3). If you have previously compressed the PageStream3 or BME program files with something such as PowerPacker, you will probably not be able to use this patch, even if you decompress them.
