I've been beta testing Pagestream for a while now. Pagestream 1.8 IS at the
duplicators now! S-L expects to begin shipping upgrades to registered owners in
about 2 weeks. They will get an addendum to add to their manual. There is a
complete NEW manual that will be packaged with 1.8 for new purchasers. A
decision on how registered owners can obtain the new manual has not been
decided, (at least I don't know that detail)
Why 1.6 to 1.8??? Well, numbers are numbers! Each company has different
methods/reasons for determining release numbers. Version 1.8 will NOT be the
end of the line for Pagestream. S-L will continue to improve it and support it!
1.8 is not perfect, but it has evolved so far ahead of 1.6 that S-L wants to
get the new version out so people will benefit now with the improvements.
later!
Thanks for the information. I will be watching my mailbox. The version number
question was asked only to seen if you could share any details about any of the
new features or bug corrections in 1.8. I would think that a 2 point jump would
mean that they were substantial. In fact, other than getting the current
features all working correctly, I can think of only two features on my upgrade
wish list: 1.) Generate screen fonts on the fly like PP1.3 (the screen display
gets pretty messy at higher magnifications). and 2.) Display EPS graphics on
screen Maybe you could pass these thoughts on to S-L. -Paul Gerhardt-
