- WELCOME TO THE PAGESTREAM 3.1 PRE-RELEASE BETA 2 UPDATE!
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- TO UPGRADE FROM 3.1 BETA 1 (ENGLISH):
-
- You need only pgs31b21.lha.
-
-
- TO UPGRADE FROM 3.0i (ENGLISH):
-
- You must have BME 2.0f installed. If you don't have this version,
- download pgs3itu2.lha (TuneUp 2) before installing beta 2!
-
- - If you installed 3.0i from an online patch, you need:
- pgs31b22.lha and pgs31b23.lha.
-
- - If you installed 3.0i from disk, you need:
- pgs31b22.lha and pgs31b24.lha.
-
-
- TO UPGRADE FROM 3.0i (GERMAN):
-
- There will not be German betas of 3.1. If you wish to use the English
- beta until the German 3.1 version is released, these patch files will
- upgrade your 3.0i German installation to 3.1 beta 2.
-
- - You need pgs31b22.lha and pgs31b25.lha.
-
-
- IMPORTANT!
-
- 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 PageStream or BME you have installed,
- run it and check the version number in the About requester. Note that 3.1
- beta 1 shows up as just 3.1 in the About requester.
-
-
- MORE IMPORTANT!!
-
- After you have downloaded the required files, decompress them. If your
- version requires two files, decompress both to the same directory.
- Double-click the 3.1Beta2 icon to display the contents of this directory.
- Double-click the Install-Beta2 icon.
-
- If have a verison older than 3.0i, you must upgrade to it first. You must
- also have BME 2.0f installed before installing this patch. BME 2.0f was
- included in TuneUp 2 (PGS3ITU2.LHA). If you didn't install that tuneup,
- you must do so before upgrading to 3.1 pre-release beta 1.
-
-
- EVEN MORE IMPORTANT!!!
-
- This version of PageStream 3.1 is a BETA version. Do not use this:
-
- - If you are uncomfortable using beta software
- - You need to do production work
- - You don't know how to backup and reinstall 3.0i in case you need
- to use it for production work
-
- We do not guarantee that this version is usable for production work.
- Heck, no software's warranty guarantees its merchantability or fitness
- for any type of work. But this is a beta, and we really mean it. So if
- after installing this beta you find out that it won't print, or that it
- crashes, or that little dancing panda bears appear on the screen when you
- try to draw a box, don't complain that you didn't back up 3.0i. The ONLY
- reasons you should be using this version are:
-
- - You think that finding bugs in pre-release versions is a good idea
- because the final version will be better as a result of your testing.
- - You absolutely can't wait any longer to try 3.1.
- - You didn't back up 3.0i when you installed 3.1 beta 1 and have been
- counting the days until beta 2. ;-)
-
-
- USING THIS PATCH
-
- IF YOU HAVE 5MB OR MORE OF FREE RAM, you can decompress the archives to
- RAM and not worry about memory limitations.
-
- IF YOU HAVE 4MB OF FREE 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 FREE RAM, you must decompress the archives
- to a hard drive directory because you'll need all your RAM for the patch.
-
- A drawer called "3.1Beta1Update" will be created when you decompress the
- patches. All three 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-3.1Beta1 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. 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 and BME program
- files in your PageStream3: directory. Every other file changed from 3.0i
- is included. If you purchased an add-on module such as the TrueType font
- engine, it may be patched to be compatible with this version.
-
- LOW MEMORY NOTES: If you do not have enough memory to install this patch
- (the 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 3.1 and earlier files. If you
- need to run the patch manually, decompress the PGSpatch.LHA archive found
- in the pgs31b11.lha file. Use the spatch utility from this archive. The
- command syntax is:
-
- spatch -oPageStream3:PageStream3.1 -pPageStream.pch PageStream3:PageStream3
-
- 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 PageStream3:PageStream3 file when you're done and then rename the
- new version to the normal name (ie, PageStream 3.1 to PageStream3).
-
-
- If you have previously compressed the PageStream3 or BME program files
- with something such as PowerPacker, you will probably not be able to use
- this patch, even if you decompress them.
-
-
- UPDATE OPTIONS:
-
- If you want 3.1 beta 2 on disk, you can order it from SoftLogik sales for
- just $10.
