- WELCOME TO THE PAGESTREAM 3.0f FREE UPDATE!
- -------------------------------------------
-
- If you have version 3.0e, you don't need this file! Download PGS3EF.LHA.
-
- This update requires disk 1 of your original PageStream3 disk set. It will
- not be modified by the update.
-
- There are several archive files for this update, but you only need two of
- them. You must have a version of PageStream3 installed on your hard drive;
- it doesn't matter what version you have, as long as you download the
- correct archive files.
-
- If you have version 3.0, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS30F.LHA
-
- If you have version 3.0a, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS3AF.LHA
-
- If you have version 3.0b, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS3BF.LHA
-
- If you have version 3.0c, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS3CF.LHA
-
- If you have version 3.0d, you need: PGS3F.LHA & PGS3DF.LHA
-
- If you're not sure what version of PageStream3 you have installed, run it
- and check the version number in the Navigator requester.
-
- Once you have your version correctly installed, decompress both archives
- to the same directory. Decompress them both to RAM: if you have
- sufficient memory.
-
- IF YOU HAVE 5MB OR MORE OF RAM, you can decompress the archives to RAM
- and not worry about memory limitations.
-
- IF YOU HAVE 4MB OF 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 3MB OF RAM, you cannot decompress the archives to RAM.
- Decompress them to your hard drive.
-
- A drawer called "3.0fUpdate" will be created when you decompress the
- patches. Both archives contain this Read.1st! file, so your decompression
- program will ask if you it is ok to overwrite the first Read.1st! file;
- this is normal. Double click on the Install-PageStream3.0f 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 OR
- MANUALLY. IF YOU DELETE THEM AFTER DECOMPRESSING THEM, AND SOMETHING GOES
- WRONG DURING PATCHING, YOU WILL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THEM AGAIN!
-
- TECHNICAL NOTES: this update will patch the PageStream3, BME and
- PageLiner program files in your PageStream3: directory to version 3.0f.
- Every other file required to use 3.0f is included in the PGS3F.LHA
- archive. Note that you cannot use 3.0f modules with earlier versions.
-
- LOW MEMORY NOTES: If you do not have enough memory to install this patch
- (the SAS 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 3.0f and earlier files. If
- you need to run the patch manually, decompress the PGSpatch.LHA (or
- BMEpatch.LHA or PLpatch.LHA files as applicable) archive found in the
- appropriate PGS30F.LHA, PGS3AF.LHA...PGS3DF.LHA file. Use the spatch
- utility in the PGS3F.LHA file. The command syntax is:
-
- spatch -oPageStream3:PageStream3.0f -pPageStream3.pch PageStream3:PageStream3
-
- spatch -oPageStream3:BME2.0a -pBME2.pch PageStream3:BME
-
- spatch -oPageStream3:PageLiner2.0c -pPageLiner2.pch PageStream3:PageLiner
-
- 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 version
- (PageStream3, BME or PageLiner) when you're done and rename the new
- version to the old version (ie, PageStream 3.0f to PageStream3).
-
- UPDATE OPTIONS: you can get the latest version of the PageStream3 disk set
- at any time for $10 from Soft-Logik sales. If you don't want to have to
- download each patch, or don't want to call to find out when each patch
- will be available, you can purchase a maintenance update subscription;
- for $30 (US/Canada) or $40 (other countries), we will send you all of the
- maintenance updates up to and including 3.1 automatically. Please contact
- Soft-Logik sales at the phone numbers and addresses listed in the
- ReadMe.Now file in the 3.0fUpdate directory.
