Short: PageStream 3.0f support files Author: Soft-Logik Publishing, Inc. Uploader: soft-logik cup portal com Type: text/dtp Architecture: m68k-amigaos WELCOME TO THE PAGESTREAM 3.0f FREE UPDATE! ------------------------------------------- If you have version 3.0e, you don't need this file! Download PGS3EF.LHA. This update requires disk 1 of your original PageStream3 disk set. It will not be modified by the update. There are several archive files for this update, but you only need two of them. You must have a version of PageStream3 installed on your hard drive; it doesn't matter what version you have, as long as you download the correct archive files. If you have version 3.0, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS30F.LHA If you have version 3.0a, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS3AF.LHA If you have version 3.0b, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS3BF.LHA If you have version 3.0c, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS3CF.LHA If you have version 3.0d, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS3DF.LHA If you're not sure what version of PageStream3 you have installed, run it and check the version number in the Navigator requester. Once you have your version correctly installed, decompress both archives to the same directory. Decompress them both to RAM: if you have sufficient memory. IF YOU HAVE 5MB OR MORE OF RAM, you can decompress the archives to RAM and not worry about memory limitations. IF YOU HAVE 4MB OF 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 3MB OF RAM, you cannot decompress the archives to RAM. Decompress them to your hard drive. A drawer called "3.0fUpdate" will be created when you decompress the patches. Both archives contain this Read.1st! file, so your decompression program will ask if you it is ok to overwrite the first Read.1st! file; this is normal. Double click on the Install-PageStream3.0f 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 OR MANUALLY. IF YOU DELETE THEM AFTER DECOMPRESSING THEM, AND SOMETHING GOES WRONG DURING PATCHING, YOU WILL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THEM AGAIN! TECHNICAL NOTES: this update will patch the PageStream3, BME and PageLiner program files in your PageStream3: directory to version 3.0f. Every other file required to use 3.0f is included in the PGS3F.LHA archive. Note that you cannot use 3.0f modules with earlier versions. LOW MEMORY NOTES: If you do not have enough memory to install this patch (the SAS 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 3.0f and earlier files. If you need to run the patch manually, decompress the PGSpatch.LHA (or BMEpatch.LHA or PLpatch.LHA files as applicable) archive found in the appropriate PGS30F.LHA, PGS3AF.LHA...PGS3DF.LHA file. Use the spatch utility in the PGS3F.LHA file. The command syntax is: spatch -oPageStream3:PageStream3.0f -pPageStream3.pch PageStream3:PageStream3 spatch -oPageStream3:BME2.0a -pBME2.pch PageStream3:BME spatch -oPageStream3:PageLiner2.0c -pPageLiner2.pch PageStream3:PageLiner 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 version (PageStream3, BME or PageLiner) when you're done and rename the new version to the old version (ie, PageStream 3.0f to PageStream3). UPDATE OPTIONS: you can get the latest version of the PageStream3 disk set at any time for $10 from Soft-Logik sales. If you don't want to have to download each patch, or don't want to call to find out when each patch will be available, you can purchase a maintenance update subscription; for $30 (US/Canada) or $40 (other countries), we will send you all of the maintenance updates up to and including 3.1 automatically. Please contact Soft-Logik sales at the phone numbers and addresses listed in the ReadMe.Now file in the 3.0fUpdate directory.
