                  American WordStar Professional Release 5

                             Inline Update #092
                                          
             Anomaly Corrections and Enhancements Description


INLINE DESCRIPTION:

The improvements and corrections highlighted below are specific to the differ-
     ences between the Inline/#091 and the Inline/#092 and how they will 
     effect the single user.  

PRODUCT CORRECTIONS AND ENHANCEMENTS:

PREVIEW.OVR and WS.EXE have been modified to allow the main Preview program 
     files to reside on the R/O program drive but font files to be created on 
     the R/W shared drive.  

The EGA mono and the EGA 64K monitor problems have been fixed.

LSRFONTS.EXE has had 2 anomalies fixed.  The "Type Style Number" embedded at 
     the front of each soft font file is now transferred correctly into the 
     Printer Data Base and now all third party fonts are identified by their 
     names instead of the cryptic "UNKNOWN 12/6".

PATCH.LST has been corrected to adjust for the change of patch adresses during 
     development.

TUTOR:  New stand alone Tutor corrects a number of Tutor anomalies.

PRINTER DATA BASE

Printer Data 1 contains all new and fixed non-laser printers.

Printer Data 2 contains HP and HP style (clones) laser/page printers.

Printer Data 3 contains all the non-HP style laser/page printers.  (It also 
     contains the non-laser HP DeskJet due to insufficient disk space 
     on both Printer Data 1 and 2.)

                      Inline Update Inline # 093

            Anomaly Corrections and Enhancements Description


INLINE DESCRIPTION:

This description contains the anomaly corrections that distinquish this update 
     (#093) from update (#092).  This is an update to the WS.EXE file (#Ameri-
     can 093) only.  
PRODUCT CORRECTIONS:

Two PDF pathing anomalies found in the WS.EXE (#092) file have now been cor-
     rected: 

1)  When editing and printing a file in window #2, WS was using the PDF from 
    the file in window #1.

2)  In WINSTALL or WSCHANGE when entering a drive letter where PDF's can be 
    found the program would halt.
