MISC FIXES:

Fixed some traps/missing output for Standard spooling.
Fixed problem with some downloaded fonts that had overlapping lines of
text.
The driver now generates a PageRegion statement when the selected page
region is the same as the default specified in the PPD file. This sets
the frame buffer correctly even if use has changed the default form.
Fix problem with QMS 1725 not printing.
05/24/93 - v21.389 - OS/2 2.1 GA Version + 5 NEC printers
NOTE: New 32-bit Postscript driver
a) 32-bit IBM C/Set 2 code
b) PM_Q_STD data type supported
so .SPL metafiles can be created
for postscript devices before
translated to PS language for
faster LAN transmission.
c) Faster/better ATM font downloading
If you install an ATM font the
PS driver automatically picks them up
as downloadable device fonts.
d) Postscript allows all colors available
to display driver in the driver
so 256 colors are possible if using SVGA
or XGA display drivers in 256 color mode.
NOTE: Please use same level 2.1 postscript
driver on servers as on requesters.
This means servers should have at least 2.0
+ Service Pack installed.
Otherwise use the POST16.ZIP driver which
is still a 16-bit version for the time being.

the fsType field if the font includes kerning
pairs.

No changes since GA.

BEFORE INSTALLATION
-------------------
The Extended Attribute file (.EA) for the driver must be attached
to the actual driver file (.DRV) so installation of the driver
will succeed. This is done by using the EAUTIL.EXE program that
is part of OS/2.
* Use the command file (PSCRIPT.CMD) provided to do this for you.
Once, this is done successfully you may proceed with normal
printer driver installation.
INSTALLATION HELP

in this package.
