Short: PageStream3.0i Free Update (h->i) Author: SoftLogik Publishing Corporation Uploader: support softlogik com Type: text/dtp Architecture: m68k-amigaos WELCOME TO THE PAGESTREAM 3.0i FREE UPDATE! ------------------------------------------- WHAT PATCH FILES DO I NEED? To reduce the amount you need to download, we have provided patches from all recent versions. Most people should just need to download a single patch (two files). If you have an older version, the most you will need to download is two patches (four files). To upgrade from 3.0h2->3.0i: download PGS32I.LHA and PGS3I.LHA. To upgrade from 3.0h ->3.0i: download PGS3HI.LHA and PGS3I.LHA. To upgrade from 3.0g ->3.0i: download PGS3GI.LHA and PGS3I.LHA. To upgrade from 3.0f ->3.0i: download PGS3FI.LHA and PGS3I.LHA. After you have downloaded both files, decompress them both to the same directory and then run the installer. If you don't have one of these versions, you will first need to upgrade to 3.0f: To upgrade from 3.0e ->3.0f: download PGS3EF.LHA. To upgrade from 3.0d ->3.0f: download PGS3DF.LHA and PGS3F.LHA. To upgrade from 3.0c ->3.0f: download PGS3CF.LHA and PGS3F.LHA. To upgrade from 3.0b ->3.0f: download PGS3BF.LHA and PGS3F.LHA. To upgrade from 3.0a ->3.0f: download PGS3AF.LHA and PGS3F.LHA. To upgrade from 3.0 ->3.0f: download PGS30F.LHA and PGS3F.LHA. This update requires disk 1 of your original PageStream3 disk set. It will not be modified by the update. You must have sufficient free hard drive space to use this patch. 4MB of free space is recommended. If you're not sure what version of PageStream3 you have installed, run it and check the version number in the Navigator requester. USING THIS PATCH ---------------- 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 LESS THAN 4MB OF RAM, you cannot use PageStream3.0i. This version requires at least 4MB of memory. A drawer called "3.0iUpdate" 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-PageStream3.0i 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! 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. TECHNICAL NOTES: this update will patch the PageStream3, BME and PageLiner program files in your PageStream3: directory. Every other file changed from 3.0h2 is included. If you purchased an add-on module such as the TextFX extension, it will be patched to the latest version if required. 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 3.0i 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 PGS3H21.LHA file. Use the spatch utility from this archive. The command syntax is: spatch -oPageStream3:PageStream3.0i -pPageStream.pch PageStream3:PageStream3 spatch -oPageStream3:BME2.0e -pBME.pch PageStream3:BME spatch -oPageStream3:PageLiner2.0g -pPageLiner.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 then rename the new version to the old version (ie, PageStream 3.0h2 to PageStream3). UPDATE OPTIONS: If you want 3.0i on disk, you can order it from Soft-Logik sales for just $10. If you have previously compressed the PageStream3, BME or PageLiner program files with something such as PowerPacker, you will probably not be able to use this patch, even if you decompress them.
