PAGESTREAM 2.2 HL PATCH PROGRAM
===============================
While PageStream 2.2 was designed to work with HotLinks, many changes
have been made to HotLinks since version 2.2 was released. Soft-Logik
Publishing has therefore released PageStream 2.2 HL which works
properly with HotLinks 1.0.
PageStream 2.2 needs to be patched to PageStream 2.2 HL. The files in
this archive contain everything you need to create PageStream 2.2 HL
from your existing PageStream 2.2 program.
PAGESTREAM 2.2 - WHICH VERSION?
===============================
There are actually two different versions of PageStream numbered 2.2.
Thus, there are two different patches included in this archive, one for
each version of PageStream 2.2. Pgs22.pch is for users who received
PageStream 2.2 as a new product on a 4 disk set. Pgs22u.pch is for
users who received 2.2 on the single upgrade disk. This is important
because the patches will not work on the wrong release of PageStream
2.2.
After the patch is complete, the original version of PageStream2
will be renamed to PageStream2.old and the new version will be named
PageStream2. The PageStream2.old file may be deleted once you have
tested to see if the patch was successfully completed.
DISK SPACE REQUIREMENTS
=======================
Use of this patch program requires at least 1.5 MB of free disk space.
Floppy drive users cannot run this patch from a floppy disk. If you
have enough memory to copy PageStream2 and the patch files to RAM, and
still have 1.5 MB free, you can run the patch program from RAM.
Otherwise, you will be unable to run the patch program. If this is the
case, you should contact Soft-Logik for an upgrade disk instead. A $5
disk and shipping fee will be charged.
INSTRUCTIONS
============
The program is run from the CLI Shell. To apply the patch, follow
these steps:
1. Open a CLI shell.
- double click on the Shell icon on the Workbench. A shell will
open.
2. Change to the drawer on your hard drive where PageStream2 is kept.
- type cd drivename:PageStream2
- i.e. cd work:PageStream2
- or: cd dh0:PageStream2
3. Copy the patch files to the PageStream directory. The easiest way
to do this is to uncompress the files in this archive directly to
the PageStream directory. Alternatively, you can copy them with the
Shell. The required files are the appropriate patch file and the
lpatch program.
4. Execute the Patch program.
- i.e. lpatch -ppgs22.pch PageStream2 (for users who received 2.2
as a new product.)
- or: lpatch -ppgs22u.pch PageStream2 (for users who received 2.2
as an upgrade.)
- note that there are two p's after the hyphen. This is not a typo.
5. The lpatch program created a new program called PageStream2. Verify
that this program has been created.
- i.e. list
6. Delete the old PageStream2 program.
- i.e. delete PageStream2.old
That's it. Your copy of PageStream is now fully updated to PageStream
release 2.2 HL.
