Greetings "PageStream Support" <deron@pagestream.org> Hi Deron, PS> Sorry. Let me be more clear then. If you are running a 24bit (or 16bit)
Behaviour is exactly the same as previously: Click away the yellow alert (glyph #126) and immediately the system freezes. Tried from both a shell and from Workbench screen. So, not good news from this corner.

Something Really Strange happened here, on my A1, OS4.1.1. I probably hadn't tried to run what I call PgS5Alpha (PageStream5 5.0.4.46, Today I tried them both, clicking on the icons rather than invoking from the SL_SystemInit #1 Nothing else happened, no matter how long I waited. My purpose had been to Here is the Strange Thing: I next clicked the 5.0.5.4 icon, which normally In this case, I got a Grim Reaper, said ignore DSI errors, and nothing else This time I went directly to the 5.0.5.4 icon, and it ran the hard drive for Next I repeated the alpha 5.0.4.46, pro 5.0.4.46 series and clicked 5.0.5.4, Next I saved this just in case, and then clicked 5.0.5.4 again, with the Meanwhile I have 248 lines of what I think is Sashimi output that is Page information:

Something Did not get as far as Bart! I've downloaded the .lha for 5.0.5.5 twice now but was unable to unpack via Unarc. The complaint from Unarc was ---------------------- Ram Disk:Help/PGSuser/Illustrations/Palette.Color.gif and then Unarc decided to Abort. I don't ever recall having a 'bad' download from Grasshopper, but in view of Bart's comments, we appear to be getting the same complaint from Unarc. The unpacking completed as far as creating the directories Help and Graphics in Ram: I'll check tomorrow and use iBrowse for the download. By then maybe we will have heard from other downloaders. By the way, how does on check that the MD5 checksum that Deron lists at Grasshopper with whatever is downloaded??? Good work Deron, hope we get more positive replies soon.

Greetings "PageStream Support" <deron@pagestream.org> Hi Deron, Thanks for posting the revision of the .lha for 5.0.5.5 so quickly. Just completed the download of the new guy and confirm that it unpackes without problems. Even did the md5 checksum bit, as guided by Nick, and it agreed with the checksum you post. So that's good! Now to check it out! Yes, as Nick pointed out, the «md5sum» program PS> I'm going to rebuild the archive and reupload it now if 2 people had PS> I have taken the old one down now, so if you can see a file after As noted above, got it and it checks out okay.

Greetings "PageStream Support" <deron@pagestream.org>
<<snip>> Download and unpack of 5.0.5.5 okay now with the newer guy. *First test:* *Second test:* UserPrefs/PageStream5.prefs and observe the rather tiny content, namely: PREFERENCE FILE So grab my old PageStream4.prefs file (from version 4.1.5.6) and attach it at the end of the above, but remove the old lines that begin SETDOCUMENTPATH since they are different from the ones above. Try again! No luck. Get Yellow alert which when clicked away leaves me with a quiet Workbench screen. Try this both from the executable Pagestream5 file as well as from AmiDock, but in each case PageStream5055 does not open on Workbench or anywhere else. *Third test:* Debug then try to get PageStream5055 to run. No luck! At one point, the file AppDebug.txt was created but contained 0 bytes. However, after a few attempts I did get an AppDebug.txt file which I attach. It was created from either the AmiDock or directly from the executable in WorkageStream5055. Should be equivalent, but I'm not sure. *Fourth test.* Move to menu item File -> System Preferences -> Fonts... and start adding font families to the "Font Preferences" window. Able to load two: Fonts/Intellifonts/ and all is well, but after loading a third family Workagestream5033/TTFonts/DejaVu/ the GR guy appears. So I've attached the GR crash log to this as well. I asked for "Generate Stack Trace" and one was created but cannot see how to capture it. Tried the "Ignore DSI errors" button in the GR window, and I'm returned to PgS5055 without problems it seems. NOTE: When a navigation window opens, in part I have white text on a light gray backdrop. Comes from my PageStream4 settings, but the Colour Palette shows but black and white and I'm not sure how to modify that. Things get screwed up, confusion of my part, so have to warm reboot. *Fifth test.* *Sixth test.* 10 seconds for the shell to return from the RUN command, I try to open a text frame, but the outline vanishes once the mouse is released. Start typing text, but after a bit realize that I'm simply creating a text block. So text blocks working, but cannot create a text frame --- so far. After a bit the PageStream screen freezes, but the OS still functions but very slowly. Warm reboot. *Seventh test.* However, after all my careful font substitutions have been given, when the Flyer opens, everything is in Zip. Same behaviour when I opened the «Welcome to 5.0.pgs»; i.e., only Zip was used in the document. But both docs opened, the headers are in bad shape---probably because the wrong font is being used---but the graphics looks good, including the colour gradient in the «Welcome to ...» guy. These files open slowly---maybe 30 seconds. So I tried to open the TestDocument.pgs chap, but s/he would not open. Well, that's what I thought, so continued to fool around with a NEW doc, and suddenly---after two or three minutes, I guess---the TestDocument.pgs opens. I did not fool with font substitution, so up comes page 1 with Zip font front and centre. Graphics looked fine. On attempting to move to page 2, the GR pops up. With a click on "Ignore DSI" we are returned to PgS5055. However, the best of clicks will not advance to page 2 of the doc. By the way, the Edit Palette has taken on a pleasant form. Initially, it was all squashed up horizontally. Last note: The screen does NOT refresh properly on moving the the document around with either the horizontal or vertical scroll bars. That's a bummer. So, almost in conclusion, it is working at about the level of 5.0.3.3 but not as fast, but much more testing to do. I agree with the Bart one that it looks promising. ) I'll send this off now, so that Deron can have a look. I'll send it to PageStreamBeta as well since the attachments will be stripped off. *Final, final test:*
