dLSoft Newsletter - October 2002 Contents 1. Product updates 2. Recent product releases 3. Upgrading your dLSoft product 4. Current versions and prices 5. Contact addresses 6. Internet sites -------------------------------------- 1. Product updates For one reason or another virtually every product has received an update this month. In fact the only product that has NOT been updated is Barcode Server for IIS. Consequently its easier to list the reasons for the updates, at least one reason applying to each product. Products which are capable of creating images on the clipboard have been updated so that they do not product nominal size images when discrete height and width values are specified. Products which handle Code 128 or EAN 128 barcodes have been updated to avoid the report of an illegal character when automatically changing subtype after particular sequences of digits. (Because the Font products include component tools that handle all barcode fonts this has resulted in all font products being updated.) The Universal Font Kit was updated to correctly install the Crystal Reports UFL component. Serveral HELP files have been updated to make it easier to locate the table of barcode types. No prices, serial numbers or version numbers have been changed as a result of these updates. A complete list of release dates for the effected products is at http://www.dlsoft.com/data/versions.htm Testware versions are available from our web site, and users of the previous versions may upgrade under our normal terms. -------------------------------------- 2.
