Arun,

We just received the Services 11.0 floppies, a few days (to a week) after
receiving the new documentation you described.  I assume the floppies we
received were not complete as they did not include the new Boot Service
floppies (one of the few services we actually use besides Clearinghouse, File
and Print service) though the documentation is not clear as to whether there
are new floppies for this service (or we use the old ones).  The release notes
were packaged with the floppies and some highlight are listed below.

- Christopher


The Highlights section of the release notes includes:

o Addition of PC File Service in support of XC 20 or XNS PC Plus

o Addition of Librarian Service to Services System Software

o Print Service enhancements for the support of vector graphics and scanned
images

o Many high-priority Action Requests fixed

o Improved Clearinghouse performance useful to large corporate internetworks

o Specific improvements for XNS Services

o File Service backup and restore performance improved for all media types

o Software support for new 8090 server hardware


Under Print Service, the following items are of interest:

o Increases stack size for processing Interpress masters.  This allows some
Interpress master, which previously would not print at all or did not print
correctly, to print correctly in Services 11.0.

o Product factoring of printer fonts requires password enabling on each print
server. (Boo, Hiss).

o Changes to Print Service allow an Interpress master representing a full page
bit map to print, providing there is enough main memory on the server.

o Offers a System Administrator-enabled slow page printing option to avoid
image gaps.  It is an improvement and a replacement for the Image Gap Printing
feature in Services 10.0.

o Offers a System Administrator-enabled new complex printing option to allow
the printing of documents containing more complex graphics, large numbers of
graphic, or lager bitmap images (such as scanned images).  This option
automatically enables the slow page printing option.
