Greetings All,

After encountering the repeated failure of PageStream 5 Pro (Amiga)
to load when called either from AmiDock or from its executable
icon, I emptied the PageStream5 directory and then Unarc'ed the
download file into the empty PageStream5 directory. Unarc said all
was well.

Tried to open PageStream5 from its executable. The registration
process went fine, but when "About PageStream" showed up, the
loading stopped at "Loading Effects..." as had been the case --
mouse freezes.. The modem was on, so I turned it off. Warm boot
fails (as usual) so RESET.

With the modem off, PageStream5 loaded, and I used "File -> System
Preferences -> Fonts" to ADD a bunch of font families.

OH! Before trying all this, I went into Softlogik:CSets and pulled
out all the files:
WinCp125x.txt where x = 0,1,2,...,8
WinCP874.txt
and put them in a directory where they would not be found. I
recalled doing this with version 4..1.5.6 and it led to better
performance, so did the same here be fore trying to load
PageStream.

Loaded the '5.0Flyer.pgs' example, changed font, resized the headers
of both pages. All went fine until: Did "Save as..." with the
modified file. PageStream5 immediately froze the OS. RESET!

On trying to load PageStream5 again it consistently fails at the
same point: "Loading Effects..." but this time the GR comes and
declares a DSI error. I was unable to get the GR report as the OS
freezes. Deron probably has sufficiently many GR reports. Wink

So here, "Save as..." and "Save" appear to be very dangerous.
Because a RESET is necessary once PageStream5 starts to fail, it is
slow going to test it.


Cheers Don (Green Dragon)

Hello Don,

Thanks for the report and details. I will try taking out some
files and see if I can get PS5 Pro to load. Mine stops after loading
the toolbar and starting to load the bottom bar.

I will have to try it on my SE also. It is slow going to test a
program when you can't load it. I don't how Deron holds up so well
under these conditions.
