- WELCOME TO THE PAGESTREAM 3.2 PRE-RELEASE BETA 8 UPDATE!
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- TO USE THIS PATCH:
-
- 1. You must have PageStream 3.2 beta 8 installed to use this file!
- If you have a previous version, you must upgrade to beta 7 first. All
- patch files are available from Aminet. Links to the files are available
- at http://www.softlogik.com/prgupdat.html.
-
- 2. You must have a battery-backed clock in your Amiga. This time-limited
- public beta will not work without a clock, even if you manually set the
- date before using the program.
-
- 3. This update requires disk 1 of your original PageStream3 disk set. It
- will not be modified by the update.
-
- 4. You must have sufficient free hard drive space to use this patch. 4MB
- of free space is recommended.
-
-
- THIS IS A TIME-LIMITED PUBLIC BETA OF PAGESTREAM 3.2
-
- You will be able to use the features of this beta until October 5th.
- After then, you must install 3.1 or 3.2.
-
-
- 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 "3.2Beta8" will be created when you decompress the
- patches. Double click on the Install-3.2Beta8 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.
-
-
- 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 new and old files. If you need to run the
- patch manually, decompress the PGSpatch.LHA archive. Use the spatch
- utility from this archive. The command syntax is:
-
- spatch -oPageStream3:PageStreamNew -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, PageStreamNew 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.
