- PAGESTREAM 3.0i RELEASE
-
- PageStream 3.0i for Amiga will be released Thursday March 7. We will
- start shipping out orders for 3.0i on March 7 and anticipate that
- patches to upgrade to 3.0i will be online on Friday, March 8.
-
- HOW TO GET THE PATCHES
-
- We always put the patches on our BBS first. Dial 314-256-8971 at
- 14400 or 28800. Please note that we do not have the best phone line
- quality in our area, so we recommend using zmodem so that you can
- continue downloading if you are interrupted by line noise.
-
- On CompuServe, type GO AMIGAVEN and download the patches from
- library 15. On Genie, type SOFTLOGIK (page 385) and download the
- patches our library. On Portal, type GO SOFTLOGIK. On the Internet,
- FTP the patches from Aminet (pub/aminet/biz/patch at most sites.
- Please note that the patches will not be available via FTP
- immediately. We will post a message in comp.sys.amiga.applications
- when the patches are available via the net.
-
- 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.
-
- Please note that only the 3.0h2 to 3.0i patch will be available
- first. It will take us about a week to generate, test and upload the
- other combinations.
-
- 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.
-
- HOW CAN I GET 3.0i ON DISK?
-
- If you are a registered owner of 3.0, you can order the 3.0i seven
- disk set for $10. This is a complete replacement for your original
- 3.0 disks.
-
- I USED A 3.0i BETA. HOW DO I PATCH TO 3.0i?
-
- We'd like to thank all the people who participated in the public
- testing of 3.0i and who sent us feedback. We made so many
- fundamental changes in this version that it really needed extensive
- testing. You have helped make 3.0i as solid as possible.
-
- If you were on the 3.0i beta distribution list, you will receive the
- final 3.0i release via email. Do not download the patches listed
- above unless you want to revert to 3.0h2 and use the public patches.
-
- I HAVE THE GERMAN VERSION---HOW DO I GET 3.0i?
-
- Our goal is always to deliver the German version to DTM one week
- after the English version. (DTM is the publisher of PageStream in
- Germany.) We will generate a German patch for 3.0i and upload it to
- the net, CompuServe and our BBS. We will post a message when this is
- available. You can contact DTM at:
-
- DTM
- Dreiherrenstein 6a
- 6200 Weisbaden-Auringen
- Germany
- tel: 49 6127 99550, fax: 49 6127 66276
-
- WHEN WILL PAGESTREAM 3.1 BE AVAILABLE?
-
- We don't have an estimate for 3.1 at this time. 3.0i is the last
- version of 3.0. We believe that it's suitable for most of our
- customers' DTP tasks. If you've been putting off upgrading, upgrade
- now. Just because the next version will be called 3.1 doesn't mean
- you should wait. 3.0i is ready for serious work, and 3.1 will of
- course be a free upgrade for 3.0 owners.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- PageStream 3.0i requires 4MB of memory and any Amiga computers with
- at least AmigaOS 2.04 or better and a hard drive. 4MB should be
- considered the minimum. We highly recommend 6MB or more for regular
- use.
-
- While PageStream will work with any Amiga processor, we highly
- recommend at least a 68030 for regular use, and a 68040 or 68060 for
- professional use.
-
- PageStream 3.0i supports the CyberGfx standard. We recommend a
- CyberGfx compatible graphics board such as Phase V's CyberVision, if
- you want to do full color publishing.
