General Protection Fault in Windows when trying to select a different printer in MS Excel 5.0 while Host Presenter was running. 2. Running vi on a Sequent host, displayed garbage when doing a page up (Ctrl-U) and a page down (Ctrl-D). 3. Capturing the Entire Buffer produced random missing lines in the file output. MENU ACCESS: File | Capture... 4. Underscores displayed on the printout where there should have been spaces. This only occurred when printing files to a postscript printer via the VAX/VMS PRINTER.COM DCL script. 5. A General Protection Fault occurred after printing a file approximately 10 times. 6. Changes in the Windows Control Panel or Print Manager were not always reflected in the application. Previously this was only true if the application was restarted after the changes were made. 7. Very small fonts when using postscript in Landscape Orientation, while "Bypass Printer Driver" is enabled. 8. The workstation would sometimes hang when 5 active sessions were opened. 9. Error;"Unable to obtain requested font" while using Continuous Printing in Landscape on a HP LaserJet. 10. A screen flash while using vi could cause a loss of system resources. 11. Printing to "Generic/Text Only" inserts 14 newlines (0x0A) characters after a line. 12. DECCOLM (Reset) -- CSI ? 3 l or ESC [ ? 3 l -- Now clears the screen after resetting the terminal width from 132 characters down to 80 characters. 13. General Protection Fault when continuously printing a text line longer than 132 characters. 14. Selecting Landscape Orientation under File | Printer Setup, not working. 15. Exiting from Windows to DOS when double-clicking the OK button in the screen/buffer printing dialogue. C. RAPID FILER 1. When printing from files generated by a Micro Focus compiler, some lines printed twice while some lines were blanked out. 2. Changes in the Windows Control Panel or Print Manager are now always being reflected in the application. Previously this was only true if the application was restarted after the changes were made. 3. The last line of a file, might not contain a Carriage Return/Line Feed sequence (CR/LF). This problem was seen together with Novell DOS 7 and other Digital Research General Purpose Operating System tools. 4. If the user did not have write permission when overwriting a host file, the file was not copied and the file on host was deleted. D. SERVING FTP Users can now connect to a minimized (iconized) Serving FTP. Previously, users could not connect regardless of whether or not Restricted Access was enabled. E. IP RESOLVER "Unable to open socket, error 55." New Host Presenter Features --------------------------- 1. MENU ACCESS: File | Capture Now able to print to postscript printers. Enable/Disable this functionality by checking/unchecking the "Bypass Printer Driver" checkbox. * To print postscript, uncheck the Bypass Printer Driver checkbox. * To print HP PCL (non-postscript), check the Bypass Printer Driver checkbox. 2. Capturing can now be turned off from MENU ACCESS: File | Print Options. New Rapid Filer Features ------------------------ 1. View | View Partial File List, now works with VMS Systems. 2. Improved ability to parse directories on VAX/VMS hosts. SOLUTION Install LWP42W.
