WordPerfect 4.1 for the Atari ST
July 31, 1989 Modifications
The following improvements have been made to the July 31,1989
release of WordPerfect 4.1 for the Atari ST:
1. *IMPORTANT*
Single drive users should not change their virtual path
to A: or B:. The virtuals are defaulted to C: and
should not be changed. Swapping disks with virtual
files on them may cause virtual information to be
corrupted.
If you have created a custom printer driver, you should
make a back up of it before installing the update.
If you have a version of Atari WordPerfect that is
older than August, 1988, you must delete the
"SYS___.WP" file from your WordPerfect directory.
Therefore, you will need to re-select your colors,
defaults, and printer selections.
If you currently have a 'SYS___.WPC' or 'SYS___.WPM',
you must delete them. Otherwise your default changes
will not be recognized.
2. A running Word Count has been added to the status line
during spell checking.
3. A file may now be viewed, complete with headers, footers,
footnotes, endnotes, and page numbers before being printed.
To use the preview option you must 1) Go into Printer
Control and select (3) for Select Printers. If a short list
of printers appears (i.e. less than 14) when selecting
printers, you will need to press CTRL-[DOWN-ARROW] and
choose "yes" to reselect your printers from the LONG list.
2) Choose the 'Atari Screen Printer (Preview)' and press
return. 3) Choose 'other' for destination, and type in the
path and filename where you want the file to be saved (we
suggest the filename "preview"). 4) Select continuous for
Form Type, 1 for Number of Copies, 0 for Binding Width and
'yes' to Save the Definition.
With this selection available, you may preview your document
by first going into Printer Control, selecting item (1) for
Change Print Options, then (1) for Printer Letter. Select
the 'Atari Screen Printer (Preview)' definition and exit
from Printer Control. Now you can print your document to
disk by selecting Full Text from the Print Menu. The file
can be viewed by going into List Files, highlighting the
file to be viewed, and selecting the 'Look' option (or
pressing [return]). The file will appear with all text in
its proper position.
4. Available disk space can be seen in list files by clicking
on Disk Info or by pressing ?.
5. It is now possible to search for all three types of hyphens:
soft hyphens, hyphens, and hard hyphens.
6. The WP Defaults are now stored in memory, reducing the
number of times needed to swap disks.
7. You are now able to use the Atari File Selector or any other
third party file selector system. If you have not installed
a file selector system, WordPerfect will default to the
Atari File Selector. You may choose to use the WordPerfect
file selector system found in previous versions. To do so,
go into WP START.PRG and click on Run WordPerfect. Select
the Gem File Selector option and then click on 'NO' when
asked to use Gem File Selector.
8. Improved Postscript printer support for extended characters
has been added. Also Ultrascript is now supported.
(Note: Be sure to copy PSCRIPT.PS or USCRIPT.PS to the
current default directory when printing to a Postscript
printer or with Ultrascript.
Note: When using the Ultrascript driver, your output should
be directed to a file and then printed later with the
Ultrascript program.)
9. A non-proportional spacing driver has been added for the
Atari SLM804 Laser printer. It uses the ATTP10LS font only.
You install the font using the SETUP630.PRG with the
following styles:
1)Normal 5)Outline
2)Bold 6)Bold Outline
3)Italics 7)Italic Outline
4)Italics & Bold 8)Light
If your printer is not supported, please check with our customer
support. We have some additional printer drivers that were not
included with this release due to limited disk space.
