- IMPORTANT NOTES!!!
-
- After uncompressing this archive, the PageStream2.pch file should
- be 138616 bytes. Your original PageStream2 program file (version
- 2.21) should be 443212 bytes. If the PageStream2.pch file is not
- the right number of bytes, you had a bad download. If the
- original PageStream2 program file is not the right number of
- bytes, you do have PageStream2 (version 2.21 US). If you have the
- UK version (you can tell it's UK from the About requester) you
- need the UK version of this patch.
-
- When you are done, the new PageStream2 (version 2.22) file should
- be 441508 bytes.

- CHANGES FROM 2.21 to 2.22
-
- This is a very minor upgrade intended mainly for owners of AGA
- Amiga computers (A1200 and A4000). PageStream2.21 could open on
- any Workbench screen, up to 256 colors, but could only open on
- custom screens up to 16 colors. This is changed in 2.22 to a
- maximum of 256 colors. To see the number of colors for a custom
- screen, you need to change the tooltypes for PageStream (see
- the manual for more info) to:
-
- SCREEN=custom
- COLORS=#
-
- where # is 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256.
-
- Note that bitmap pictures are displayed in black and white in
- PageStream 2.
-
- Note that to open PageStream2 on a DOUBLENTSC or DOUBLEPAL
- screen, instead of the default HI-RES INTERLACE screen, you
- must toggle on MODE PROMOTION with the IPREFS preferences
- program.
-
- VERY, VERY IMPORTANT!!!
-
- PageStream 2.22 uses the bottom four colors for the interface
- colors. PageStream 2.21 and earlier used the bottom two colors
- and the top two colors. If you install PageStream 2.22 and do
- not delete your prefs file, PageStream 2.22's interface colors
- will look odd. Change the bottom four colors to:
-
- color 0: (default is gray R10 G10 B10)
- color 1: (default is black R0 G0 B0 )
- color 2: (default is white R15 G15 B15)
- color 3: (default is blue R6 G8 B11)
-
- You can change the screen colors manually with the Change
- Screen Colors command.
-
- The reason for this change is to adapt to the new Amiga standard.
- In color modes above 4, highlighting of the toolbox icons and
- gadgets may be odd (depending on your other screen color
- choices). In the next version of PageStream, the change to the
- new color system will be completed.
-
-
- IMPORTANT!!!
-
- More changes are coming this year to PageStream. To ensure you
- find out about them, register your copy of PageStream today. We
- constantly release new modules like the new Final Copy and Art
- Expression import modules, and the new HP4 printer driver, and
- without registering you'll be left in the dark.
-
- If you are applying this patch to a 'borrowed' copy of
- PageStream, purchase a legal copy today. Amiga software
- companies will disappear unless you purchase the software you
- use. We try to keep our prices low to make it easier to buy our
- software.
