This version replaces the previously posted ps3b01.lha file. It has

updated font engines.

If you have already downloaded an older version of this patch, look

for the file cgfont.lha which contains the CompuGraphic Intellifont

engine. Get this engine if you are running either version 3.0b or

3.0c.

WELCOME TO THE PAGESTREAM 3.0b FREE UPDATE!

-------------------------------------------

There are 4 archive files for this update. The most you will need is three

of them. Only one is required for the actual update, and there are

separate versions of it depending on whether you are updating from 3.0 or

3.0a. The other two are optional depending on what you want to update.

PS3B01.LHA - you need this file to upgrade from 3.0 <---- you are here

PS3BA1.LHA - you need this file to upgrade from 3.0a

PS3B2.LHA - includes additional DMF fonts (see below)

PS3B3.LHA - includes updated help files and macro definitions

All archives contain installation scripts to install their files. You MUST

have PageStream 3.0 or 3.0a, as applicable, properly installed on your

hard drive to use these installers, and you MUST have disk 1 of your

original PageStream3 disk set available.

NOTE: The installer in this archive will overwrite your current

PageStream3.Macros file. If you have macros in it you wish to keep, make

a backup copy of your file before using this installer. After installation,

run PageStream3 and append your old Macros file to the new one. Remove

redundant entries as required.

DMF fonts: the 3.0 and 3.0a releases of PageStream included DMF font files

for the standard 35 set, less Times and Helvetica (Triumvirate) which are

included in Compugraphic format. Only one DMF file was included for each

font family. The PS3B2.LHA archive contains the remaining DMF files so

that you can print these fonts to all types of printers. So if you want to

print bold or italic versions of these fonts, you need the DMF font files

in the PS3B2.LHA archive.

As always, this update is available for purchase from Soft-Logik sales for

our normal $10 disk fee. Please enclose $5 shipping and handling for the

US and Canada, and $15 for other countries. Write, fax or phone the

address and phone numbers on the back of your PageStream3 manual to order.

CHANGES FROM 3.0a TO 3.0b

TEXT:

- Text entry and formatting is 50% faster in this version. Yes, it is still

way too slow, but it's getting there.

- Paragraph Format: Left/First/Right Indent are now implemented.

- Ctrl C and D special character shortcuts are now implemented.

- Insert Character works again.

- Default tab spacing has been implemented.

- Cut/Copy/Paste in frameless text objects works now.

- Keyboard shortcuts for moving the insertion point in frameless text

objects have been implemented.

- Edit palette arrow gadgets for text size, width, tracking and leading

can now be used with a Shift key for greater precision.

- Fixed the Convert Case commands.

- Pasting a text wrapped object now updates text frames overlapping it.

- Note: some Text Wrap methods which worked in 3.0a have been disabled for

this release. They will return next time.

- Fixed the displaying of PS or DMF fonts at low magnifications or very

small sizes on screen which would offset them from their baseline.

- Fixed Times Bold/Italic reversal on PostScript printers.

- Fixed ASCII, FTXT, Excellence and Final Writer filters for problems

caused by converting more than 11 dashes.

- Double spacing between sentences no longer permits the 2nd space to fall

at the beginning of a line.

- Fixed all known problems for printing Compugraphic fonts to PostScript.

- Linked frames on the same page should now update properly.

- Fixed leading problem when the previous line had a larger point size.

- Fixed problems with leading options in the Edit palette.

PRINTING:

- Fixed color HP.printer DeskJet problems.

- Fixed HP.printer PaintJet problems.

- New Fargo.printer driver for the Primera wax thermal and dye sublimation

printer. (This will not work with the Primera Pro.)

- Improved Epson.printer color printing to decrease saturation.

- Corrected A4 paper size in HP.printer and Epson.printer.

- Print requester options will now remain set from one print job to the

next during the current session.

- Improved ordered dithering for HP, Epson and IFF ILBM printer drivers.

- PostScript: error handler is now off as the default. If you have saved

your settings, you can speed up printing by turning off the error

handler in Printing Preferences and then saving your settings again.

- Fixed color PostScript printing of certain pictures.

- Fixed display and printing of the bold and italic variations of the

standard 35 fonts, by adding DMF files for these fonts. (This requires

the PS3B2.LHA archive.)

- Fixed some problems printing drawings to PostScript.

- Fixed printing multiple frames on one page to PostScript.

- Fixed some non-standard character PostScript printing for resident fonts

and for downloaded Adobe Standard Encoded fonts. The characters include

typographic quotation marks, British Pound sign, bullet, ellipsis,

ligatures, en and em dashes, daggers, etc. The remaining characters and

other font types will be completed in 3.0c.

- Fixed HP.printer printing when the paper size was greater than 8.5x11".

PAGESTREAM2 DOCUMENT LOADING:

- If you converted 2.2 documents to 3.0 with previous versions of 3.0,

each article will really be one paragraph. (New Line codes were inserted

instead of New Paragraphs. Refer to page 168 for info on new lines vs

new paragraphs.) This is somewhat important, because paragraph spacing

cannot be used if the entire article is one paragraph, and things like

automatic drop caps and bullets will only appear at the start of the

article. You can fix this by positioning the insertion point at the

start of each 'paragraph' (new line), then pressing Backspace and then

Return. Alternatively, if you haven't already made a change to the

document in 3.0, simply reload the 2.2 document into 3.0b to convert it

properly.

- Text was being loaded with Track table set to Normal, which could change

line breaks. It now loads with Track table set to None.

- Fixed the problem with PageStream2 text frames having multiple columns

on loading.

MACROS & AREXX:

- added the sendtopageliner script.

MISC:

- Loading a 3.0 document now preserves double-sided master page.

- PageStream 2.2 documents now load unnamed.

- Changed AmigaDOS 2.x color allocation to be more stingy with colors.

- Text frame backgrounds now default to transparent instead of opaque. If

you have saved your Toolbox Preferences, you can change this and then

save your settings again.

- Settings/Screen: if the Display DPI text gadgets are blank, PageStream

will use the default resolution for most standard screen modes now. This

is convenient if you often switch between screens of different standard

resolutions. If you enter values, it won't switch automatically.

- Problems with moving drawings containing groups and lines are resolved.

- Several of the filters have been reduced in size to save memory.

- Fixed problems with master pages renaming to default.

- Added a busy pointer when showing font samples.

- Added the ability to change PageStream3's interface colors. Refer to the

Screen option in the Interface topic group in the main PageStream3 Help

screen for more information. You must download the PS3B3.LHA archive to

get the new version of the help files.

- The Visual Reference gadgets in the Help system did not work under

AmigaDOS 2.x. The new help files in the PS3B3.LHA archive fix this

problem. Depending on when you received PageStream3 and whether you had

AmigaGuide on your system already, the WDisplay utility may not have been

installed in your Sys:Utilities directory. If it is not there and you have

AmigaDOS2, you should decompress it from the Guide.LHA archive on your

original disk 2.

BME

- New Emboss and Sharpen effects have been added! Refer to the help system

for information. (The new help files are included in the PS3B3.LHA

archive.)

NOTES:

- You cannot rotate/slant/twist Compugraphic fonts beyond 50 degrees in

either direction at this time. (This includes rotating Compugraphic

fonts in frameless text objects.) Other font formats can be rotated

without restriction.

This archive contains the updated PS.FONTS engine.
