This Update includes the following changes and
improvements:
 | Beginning with this service pack, the installer now
records in the registry where EDS IV / Sizer / Letera are installed. The
installer assumes that the default path for any ENS files will be the
Embroidery Network System directory adjacent to the EDS IV directory.
 | This version supports the reading and writing of the
Janome .jef home format.
 | When mirroring lettering from the Position TAB and
then changing the size wrong values were being applied.
 | Uses an updated Sydex driver that is Plug and Play
for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Previous driver for NT would cause
problems shutting down in Windows 2000.
 | If a user closed the print preview dialog via the
‘X’ or icon menu and then later crashes (for whatever reason), the
toolbar registry could be left in an unknown state and Letera may not
start the next time the user tries to run Letera.
 | Letera would crash with lettering jobs when the
following steps were performed: Setup a lettering job. Click on Ok. Go
back into lettering job. Type a character. Click on Cancel. Go back into
lettering job. Select new alphabet. Click on Ok.
 | When Exporting to a Tajima disk and overwrite an
existing file, answer yes or no to the prompt: a crash occurs. Also, once
a crash occurs, no write operation can be completed without a crash.
Sometime a crash will occur if after writing to a double density disk, the
user changes to a HI density disk and tries to write again.
 | If a "disk full" error is encountered while
exporting to Tajima, results would be a disk full error, then a system
crash.
 | When using "Save As" to save a Tajima
design and setting the jump stitch count to a new value the new value does
would take affect until the next "Save As"
 | Lettering jobs using closest point alphabets will
remove the manual underlay of some letters.
 | Color changes inserted into the end of a lettering
job took affect on the last character of the lettering job.
 | Two things with exporting to ZSK. The first, ZSk
options dialog showed a heading of Barudan. Second, after exporting there
were no needle changes at all.
 | Some menu items had duplicate accelerator keys.
 | Expanded designs were being handled improperly when
adding Lock Stitches to them. If an element started with Jump Stitches
moving to the element, it did the Tie Ins before the Jumps, instead of
after where the first stitch is of the new element.
 | Fill type 1 was not ignoring the stitch length
setting when calculating stitches.
 | Running stitches could sometimes be seen underneath
trapunto complex fills.
 | When opening files with outlines made of a bean
stitch, the outline came out as a running stitch instead of a bean stitch.
 | When creating a lettering job that ends with an
explicit trim command in the lettering job itself and inserting a Return
to Origin at the end of the design the Return to Origin was not working.
 | When opening a file from one floppy disk, and then
changing floppies do and performing a File:Save then closing the window a
blue screen appeared asking for the original floppy.
 | On lettering where a primary and secondary zigzag
underlay is selected, the resulting stitches for the underlay would start
on the same side of the column. It now will start the primary underlay on
one side and the secondary underlay on the opposite side of the column.
|  | Multi-line text jobs that use closest point
alphabets would sometimes result with the last character of the first line
to curve |
