Sb: 7/1 Maintenance Release
Fm: Pete Peterson (WPCorp) 72067,3552
To: All
There is a new version of WP5.0 dated 7/1/88 which we are calling the first
maintenance release. The software is available free of charge to authorized
5.0 users. If you call or write WPCorp or SoftCopy (81 N. State Street, Orem,
Utah 84057) (800/222-9409-SoftCopy, 800/321-4566-Orders, 800/321-5906-Support,
or 801/225-5000-Info Services), we will send the maintenance release via US
Mail (which, believe it or not, is faster than UPS). In your letter (or
during your phone call) be sure to mention your license number (if you ordered
a 5.0 update, use your license number from 4.2 or 4.1), your media, your
printer or printers, and of course your name, address, and phone number. You
can also order the update via CompuServe by sending an Easyplex request to
Mary Jo Rench at 71531,3331.
If you have ordered Bitstream Fontware already, the maintenance release will
be included *without your having to request it*. This should start shipping
the end of this week. The maintenance release includes WP1, WP2, PTR,
Conversion, and the requested printer drivers.
If you work in an office with more than one copy of 5.0, we would sincerely
appreciate your ordering one copy of the new release and using these diskettes
to update all authorized copies in your office. We already have more than
300,000 copies of 5.0 out there, so any help in reducing the number of copies
we have to ship is very appreciated.
I don't have a list of the changes to the software, but I hope to post one
soon. This version does have much cleaner printer definitions, and solves the
CONVERT.EXE problems reported on the forum, and the Text In/Out problems. It
also fixes the spacing problems with the Postscript printers. Pete

Sb: #Latest Release
Fm: Pete Peterson (WPCorp) 72067,3552
To: All
I did talk to Don LaVange today to find out what was in the latest release.
There are a lot of little things, but also a couple of surprises. The Text
In/Out problems closing files is fixed. The Interupt 7F call we were making
to check for that IBM monitor is not made anymore. It was a legal thing to
do, but we have worked around it so the Compaq ROM upgrade is no longer
necessary, the Hardcard ROM upgrade is no longer necessary, and the network
version will work on the ELS network (Novell's Entry Level System is what ELS
stands for I believe.
I already mentioned it in another message, but from the Alt-F9 (Graphics) key
you can now press List Files to see a list of files so you can look around for
the graphic file you are trying to find. *And* the "Ignore Words with
Numbers" option on the Spell key is back because of popular demand, which
proves not all reruns are bad.
The network version still didn't ship today, but they are *sure* it will ship
tomorrow.
We are going to notify all our 5.0 registered and update customers with a
postcard explaining the availability of the new release. You can wait for
your postcard, or call any of the WPCorp numbers as soon as you want. Pete
