Title: Trying to update PageStream 3.2 to 3.2b
Post by: trilobyte on July 27, 2016, 05:17:21 AM

Hi all,

Since Softlogik's FTP site was taken down over a decade ago, some updates for PageStream have gone missing.

I am specifically looking for the file pgs32b_32.lha.  It is not on Aminet, though a number of other PageStream updates are there.  The reason I know this file exists is from SoftLogik's old web site:

https://web.archive.org/web/19990224133348/http://www.softlogik.com/Products/PageStream3/patches.html

I've reached out to PageStream Support in hopes of acquiring this file, but also am checking here if anyone has this.

I decided to use PageStream to refurb my resume and am running into some bugs in 3.2 which are kind of frustrating me.  Hopefully a patch would fix them.  Otherwise I will just go back to using InDesign or something.

Thanks

You might find what you are looking for here.

Thanks Amiwest!

Unfortunately that just contains some beta versions of 3.2, but nothing to go from the released 3.2 to 3.2b.

Maybe some of the other directories on this server might have the patch though.  Thanks again!

Odd that it's not on Aminet since so many other PageStream patches are. Check indexes of the Aminet CDs in case it made it onto one of those (a handful of files have disappeared from the Aminet server over the years). The site linked above is actually a directory on an Amiga Format coverdisc, so check indexes of those as well (and CU Amiga) in case the file made it onto another volume.

Also try the PageStream mailing list in case someone on there might have it.

By the way, pagestream is still being made and you can get 5.0 for AmigaOS 68k still.

I checked indices of Aminet CDs and AF and CU coverdiscs - no luck. I did find a 3.3 to 3.3a patch, though, which I'll upload to Aminet.

I want to publicly thank Deron at PageStream for helping me get access to the last 3.x update available at pagestream.org, which is 3.4b9.  Though it feels a little uncomfortable to make perpetual use of a 'beta' version, it did solve my woes with paragraph styles and bulleted tabs (tabbed bullets?).  (And don't click 'trapping' in the object editor in 3.4b9 or you'll get a guru.)

PageStream for the win! :D
