This document contains recent changes relevant to this package.
These may not have made it into the manual as yet,
or may be recent additions to the manual.

Last Manual Update: 15-March-1994, AmigaFax 1.40

The large Amiga fonts converted from TeX format which were stored in
the file FaxFonts.run would not fit on the floppy for the 1.40
distribution. These are not required for AmigaDOS2.0, but may be
required under 1.3. The fonts themselves have not changed for many
years, so if you have a copy from a demo you can use them. Otherwise
if you require them please contact me.

	AfaxSend 1.34 9OCT92 23:00 DAV
	=============

Experimental version with Xon/Xoff flow control when transmitting.
To enable XonXoff mode, you must have a config entry (or environmental
or local variable):

XonXoff 1

Actually, any number will do for now, but use 1 for future compatability.

=> 1.34

This one checks for XON/XOFF every 10 characters, not every 1000 as
1.33 did.

It also prints out characters received while transmitting, in case the
modem sends things other than XON/XOFF. These are not checked for as yet.

To see the debug info, from a shell, type

afaxsend -d3 number faxfile

eg

mkafax my_text_file ram:fx

afaxsend 052786355 ram:fx

Modified Faa for use with TrapDoor   17NOV92 DAV
==================================

I've just had some discussions with a local user who is also trying to
use TrapDoor with AmigaFax. I made up a test version of FAA for him,
which he has reported back as working, so I'll pass it on. The problem
appeared to be in the baud rate between TrapDoor and faa - when faa is
run in the -G mode, it would not attempt to set the baud rate, leaving
it at what Getty had set it to. Apparently this doesn't work well with
TrapDoor.

For this version (1.34) there is an extra command line option, -Q

When this option is given with -G (Getty mode), the baudrate given in
the RRate config or environment variable will be used when faa
communicates with the modem.

Without it, the serial rate is not set.

So now your TrapDoor command line for fax may be:

FAXCOMMAND "afax:c/faa -D duart.device -U 0 -G -Q"

with FAXLIB:Config (or SetEnv or Set)

RRate 19200

Support for PasTeX with AmigaFax	9DEC92 DAV
================================

We have received a support package to allow users of PasTeX to
interface to AmigaTeX. This is included in an archive in the
Afax:Other directory. We have not tested the package here, as we do
not have PasTeX installed. See the ReadMe file in the archive for more instructions.

Thanks to Martin Horneffer and Martin Steppler for this contribution.

	Version 1.38	1FEB94 DAV
	============

This revision is mainly to add an afax printer driver, but a few
general bug-fixes to do with requester satisfaction also made it in.

Additional Programs:
-------------------

afax.driver	This is the printer driver itself. The working copy
		goes in DEVS:Printers, the copy in afax:c is not needed.

printsymb	This is the print symbiont that does the conversion to
		fax format. Under 2.0 the driver will start it
		automatically, if this doesn't work it may be run up
		manually. Goes in afax:c

FPrint		A little print-diverter, you could bind this to a
		hot-key using FKeys or similar. Allows directing one
		or more print jobs to the fax driver. You can also do
		this by setting afax.driver in your printer preferences.

Operation:
---------
afax.driver	The current version is limited to graphics-format
		output only. (Most DTP programs, etc use this)
		I may add standard text capability later.

printsymb -h	"Hang Around" - the symbiont will not terminate when the
		driver is expunged. Useful for testing.
	  -r	Replace - Automatically replace an existing symbiont.
		Again useful for testing only.
	  -q	Quit - Terminate any existing symbiont, and exit.

The print symbiont will create a fax file in the directory FAXSPOOL:,
with a unique name of form P_xxxxxx.AFX, and then will call afax to
process it for sending, viewing, etc.
This can result in a build up of files in FAXSPOOL:, P_0000.AFX,
P_0001.AFX, P_0002.AFX and so on. The the environmental or config file
variable FAXFILE is set, then output will always go to that file,
overwriting if it exists. So you could:

setenv FAXFILE T:Faxprt

and all fax printout would go there. BEWARE of doing this if you are
spooling faxes, however, as the fax may be overwritten before being sent.


FPrint   -m	Multiple jobs. If called with this option, FPrint will
		stay resident for multiple print jobs, else it will
		terminate after one.
	 -n	No Requester - The "Print Redirected" requester will
		be suppressed.
	 -q	Terminate any running FPrint, and exit.

FPrint will change the in-use printer preference while running, so
that printing goes via the afax.driver. The previous printer is
restored when it exits. You can get the same effect by changing your
printer to afax.driver via preferences, but FPrint may be more
convenient. You could attach it to a hot-key, using FKeys, for
example, to run "RunBack FPrint", "RunBack FPrint -q", etc as desired.

Other changes:
-------------
The afax program now has a command-line switch.

afax -f faxfile

where faxfile is the name of a fax file, will result in afax coming up
with the source and fax files pre-set to that file name. This is for
use with the printer-driver code, but may be useful for other things.

afaxprt should not abort prematurely when keystrokes go into its
requester! This was a general fix, and may help other programs also.

afax will signal afaxspl to do an immediate scan everytime it spools
another fax, rather that waiting for the next scheduled queue scan.
