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.
