Just received a new release of WORD PERFECT dated Nov. 1, 1990. Here's the release notes: WordPerfect 4.1 for the Atari ST (Nov 1, 1990 Release) Some of the improvements that have been made to this version are as follows: 1. Support for the large screen monitors has been added. It has been tested on a Moniterm 1280x960 monochrome monitor and an Image Systems (ISAC Board) 1024x768 16 Color Board with a multisync color monitor. Any incompatibilities should be reported to our customer support dept. 2. Some RamDisk Software and other Desk Accessories would cause only the Directories to be seen in "List Files". This incompatibility has been remedied. 3. Better FSEL support has been added to correct display problems caused by using the System File Selector option. 4. The complete document path and name is now display in the window title bar. 5. The window positions and sizes are automatically saved when you exit WordPerfect. If this option is not desired then leave the window the full size and no change will be noticed. It is advised to reduce your window size on a large screen monitor to reduce the time it takes to update the screen. 6. If you are using a single floppy system and you should not use the drive B: option, due to a flaw in the System File Selector (FSEL), switching to disk B will confuse the system and possibly garbage your disk. Most third party file selectors don't seem to have this problem. 7. The LOOK option in List Files has been changed to use a window to be compatible to the large screen monitors. 8. Options that use a dialog at the bottom of the screen with the window resized now behave better when using the mouse. 9. Support for retrieving and saving IBM WordPerfect 4.2 files and IBM text files has been added to the menubar as "Import/Export" under "File" and the "Text In/Out" option (C-F5). Print/Font Disks Instead of just a Print disk and a Font disk, there are now 4 Print/Font disks with the printer defintions and font definitions on the same disk. This should make printing a little easier with not as much disk swapping for single drive users. We have broken them down as follows: Print/Font Disk 1 Dot Matrix, Daisy Wheel, Ink Jet Printers Print/Font Disk 2 Laser Printers Print/Font Disk 3 Postscript Printers Print/Font Disk 4 Limited Support Printers All of the utility programs (PRINTER.PRG, SPELLER.PRG, etc.) now works with the large screen monitors.
