        =================================================================

        BUG TITLE: (#12909) Status scr has style bar and elevator 


        MODULES CHANGED: nwopen5.asm, nwscrn2.asm, nwfio.asm

        FIX DETAIL:  Disable display of status lines when in 
        Status screen.

        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Test that the status lines don't 
        display when a menu is up.  Check classic menus. 
        Check especially when bacground print is on and the
        status of the print changes e.g. print wait or it simply
        completes.  Check the the spell/thes menus and thet the
        status line does update but not the style bar.
        Check that everyting is okay if the status lines are 
        turned off by ^OB and also via wschange.  Check that the
        elevator bar gets updated even if the status lines are
        turned off.


        * (#12910/#12903) print fatal if .pf and in print menu


        MODULES CHANGED: nwopen4.asm

        FIX DETAIL:  Make sure that the print init overlay is
        present before  returning to it.

        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Check that everything is okay
        after print is done.  Make sure that the print process 
        has to reform or call the hyphenator (.pfon).  Let print
        background print finish while editing and also when 
        waiting at the print menu.  Goto the opening menu and
        perform various operation while the print is finishing.

        * (#12884) footnote fatal while preview file








        MODULES CHANGED: nwopen6.asm

        FIX DETAIL:  Clear footnote accumulation file if running
        notes present.  Store attributes of running note in entry
        so that they don't get overwritten.

        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Print files with running notes and 
        also files with no running notes. If running notes use
        Preview to move about file.  It shouldn't fatal like it
        did.

Star Exchange:
  New version of CONVERT.EXE received from Vince Raso at SCC on
  22-Jul-92. This version fixes problem with WS data conversion:
  comma-delimited lines generated during conversion no longer
  end with a comma.

  Testing: This version has been briefly tested by QA.

  Localization:
  This version has been verified by John Angermeyer for localizable
  strings. CONVERT.EXE currently has 63 strings that get translated
  and which are changed via a patch process. None of these strings
  have changed nor has their order. Their relative offsets have
  all been incremented to account for changed code but this does
  not affect translation.


Core -- README:

  README.TXT has been updated. The paragraph describing a workaround
  to the Star Exchange problem described above has been removed.

        * (#12915) .pf on won't print soft hyphen
        
        
        Summaries of Fixes/Changes:
        
        =================================================================
        BUG TITLE:  (#12915) .pf on won't print soft hyphen
        
        MODULES CHANGED:  nwopen4.asm nwedit2.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Two problems in the code.  Hyphen help was getting 
        reset to OFF after opdix routine set it up properly.  splt03 was 
        stopping processing of the word at the page break and really 






        needed a check for the page symmetrical sequence to ignore it.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Check that hyphenation works properly with 
        different combinations of .pf on and off, .hy on and off, and 
        that it works the same when hyphenation happens around page 
        breaks as it does in normal text.
        
        Because the hyphen help was always set to off when printing, 
        unless your document had an explicit .hy on, hyphenation acted 
        differently (see other integrations having to do with this issue 
        since 7.0A).  This caused you to see the printing problem which 
        under normal conditions would have required an explicit .hy off 
        and .pf on to show this behavior.
