PRINTER TOOLS DISK
------------------
This disk contains printer drivers for:
- ImageWriter
- AppleTalk ImageWriter
- LaserWriter IISC
- LaserWriter IINT
- LaserWriter IINTX
LaserWriter Driver
------------------
Support for 11" x 17" paper is now available via a radio button in the
Page Setup dialog box.
The "Page Setup" dialog contains two new check boxes that replace one
earlier one:
- The "Text Smoothing" option smooths bitmap fonts that are downloaded.
- The "Graphics Smoothing" option smooths bitmaps other than text.
With the addition of this feature, all previous versions of LaserWriter
Prep are incompatible.
LaserWriter 5.2 fixes a problem inherent with printing large bit maps
(fonts over 100 points).
Extended rotation picture comments were added, to allow for fractional
rotation angles.
A problem with the dashed line comment (the dashed line interval was getting
scaled with the pen size) has been fixed.
The srcBic mode (white on black) text problem is fixed (if you drew 2 lines
of text in scrBic mode, the second line would not print).
LaserWriter IISC Driver
-----------------------
A problem in the LaserWriter IISC driver that caused icons to disappear
when doing the Finder's "Print Catalog" command has been fixed. This
problem was introduced in version 1.1B1.
A problem in the LaserWriter IISC driver that caused gaps in straight lines
drawn with non-square pen has also been fixed.
A problem in the LaserWriter IISC driver that caused gaps in the outline of a
roundRect drawn with a non-square pen has been fixed.
The LaserWriter driver will not print a bitmap if the width or height is
zero.
There was a problem in the LaserWriter driver with dashed line intervals.
Dashed lines with more than two elements in their patterns did not print
correctly. This has been fixed.
A problem with downloading large bitmap fonts (96 points) has been fixed.
MACINTOSH UTILITIES 1
---------------------
HD SC Setup
-----------
HD SC Setup was rewritten, for A/UX, to support multiple partitions.
When quitting from HD SC Setup, a call to SCSIDispatch is made with the
opcode "QuantumFix".
Mini Installer Scripts
----------------------
Mini-Scripts creates a system that is appropriate only for the particular
Macintosh it was created for. All patches for the other systems are not
available when a system is created with mini-scripts. Booting a system
configured for one machine on a different flavor Macintosh causes an alert
box.
Mini-Scripts are designed to be used on floppy-based systems and to be
installed on disks that do NOT currently contain a System. If you install a
mini-script over an existing System, you will not get a fully updated
System file.
MACINTOSH UTILITIES 2
---------------------
CloseView
---------
The CloseView utility lets users magnify the Macintosh screen, making it
easier for visually impaired users to use the computer. It also makes it
possible to invert the screen (white on black instead of the usual black
on white).
CloseView restores color window manager ports as well as regular window
manager ports on screen base address changes.
Map
---
Map is a Macintosh utility that records and displays the time, longitude,
and latitude of locations anywhere in the world.
Problem fixes from older versions: Chicago's time zone has been fixed, and
partial names can be used with Find.
MacroMaker
----------
MacroMaker is an Init allowing users to create macros.
Miscellaneous Changes and Problem Fixes
---------------------------------------
Disk First Aid has been adjusted to support disks larger than 800K.
All Macintosh II patches were changed to support A/UX.
The problem that caused the PRAM on the Macintosh II to sometimes get
trashed has been fixed.
If you switch temporarily to one monitor, then back to two, icons on the
desktop return to their original positions (unless you move them).
If you try to switch-launch but can't, you are asked to confirm that you
want to continue launching the application.
Two problems that caused disk-swapping when switch-launching on a single-
drive system have been fixed.
A problem where the 'type' and 'creator' would be written by the application
then overwritten by the Finder has been fixed.
The problem that caused a Macintosh to hang if the LAYO spacing was wide and
the windows were narrow has been fixed.
A problem with the 'Protect Bit" (AppleShare-related) has been fixed.
