WELCOME TO THE PAGESTREAM 3.1 PRE-RELEASE BETA 4 UPDATE!
-------------------------------------------------------

You must have PageStream 3.1 beta 3 installed to use this file! If you
have beta 2, download pgs31b41.lha instead. If you have an earlier
version, you must upgrade to 3.1 beta 2 before you can upgrade to beta 4.

This update requires disk 1 of your original PageStream3 disk set. It
will not be modified by the update.

You must have sufficient free hard drive space to use this patch. 4MB of
free space is recommended.


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 "3.1Beta4" will be created when you decompress the
patches. Double click on the Install-3.1Beta4 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 3.1 beta4 and earlier 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:PageStream3.1 -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, PageStream 3.1 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.


UPDATE OPTIONS:

If you want 3.1 beta 4 on disk, you can order it from SoftLogik sales for
just $10.
