- Two things: from the HISTORY file.
-
- 921105: a4:zfix.taz: Hopefully fixed the permission problems in root.
- b5:ghostscr.taz: Ghostscript compiled with most drivers.
-
-
- The first fixes the "shell-init" and "permission denied" problem,
- assuming it occurs in the "a" series. I really don't know why
- this is happening. Someone who does a full install let me know
- if it still happens.
-
- Ghostscript has no fonts, but the b5 disk was half empty anyways.

- Peter.

- PS: In case someone wonders why SLS is so designed to be floppy
- bound, I don't back up my system. If there is a major problem,
- I backup my data and reinstall. This is why I developed SLS: at
- first I tried for months to get others interested in it. But no
- go, even with the enticement of being able to distribute it for
- a fee. Finally, I did it myself, and got Softlanding to distribute
- it for $3.25/disk. This is a money-losing proposition, mostly because
- you can't advertise since it is to expensive, and there are no
- barriers/restrictions on those buying it. Thus you will never
- get a large outfit to send you an order for 30 units.
