            About the changes made to the FAXclient for DOS
            How to use the changes/enhancements

        Before reading these notes, you should have:
            Installed and set up FAXserve (See Chapter 2 of your FAXserve
            User Guide for doing this)


        About the new FAXclient for DOS features

            There have been several changes and enhancements made to the
        FAXclient for DOS.  Some of these are apparent to you, others are
        behind the scenes, affecting the way the FAXclient works.  Some
        of the changes made to the FAXclient for DOS include:

        *   A new installation program that now allows users to run
            FAXclient for DOS from the FAXserve host server rather than
            from their local workstation drive.  This frees up disk space
            on users local drive that would otherwise be used for storing
            FAXclient for DOS files.

        *   A new setup that allows you to, among other things, set up
            the FAXclient for DOS to run from individual workstations.
            Use this setup for those individuals who need "customized"
            versions of FAXclient that differs from that of the global
            settings specified during FAXclient for DOS installation.

        *   A new TSR that replaces the previous three TSRs required to
            run FAXclient for DOS.

        *   Less memory required to run FAXclient for DOS.

        *   A new command line option that allows you to fax a file
            directly from the command line rather than having to enter
            the DOS application and send the file to print.

        *   A new method for specifying whether you want to access
            phonebook files, logo files, and ASCII text files from your
            default CAS directory or your mail directory on the FAXserve
            host server.

        *   Support for PCL 5 (scalable fonts).

        *   Pop-up windows that show the progress of fax conversion and
            submission to the FAXserve transmission queue as they occur.

        FAXclient for DOS                                    Version 1.20


        *   A hot key combination that allows you to toggle between
            printing to a physical printer or faxing with FAXserve
            without having to constantly unload and reload the FAXclient
            for DOS TSR.

        *   Ability to create and export cover page text to a .TXT file
            and to import them or any ASCII text file as part of your
            fax.

        *   Improved phonebook record sorting, resulting in faster
            display of the phonebook.

        *   Compatibility with XMS NETx and EMS NETx network shells.

        *   Two batch files that you can run without having to exit your
            DOS-based application.  One batch file takes you to the
            FAXserve manager; the other is customizable, meaning you can
            customize it to run the commands that you specify.

        *   Logo and text file pick lists are now sorted.

        New FAXclient for DOS basics

            The revised installation program allows you to install all
        the files needed to run the FAXclient for DOS in one directory on
        the FAXserve host server.  In this way, all authorized FAXserve
        users can run the FAXclient for DOS from this directory rather
        than having to set it up on each of their workstations.  The
        procedure remains similar to the procedure described in your
        FAXserve User Guide, with the additional procedure of selecting
        the global fax page size and optional modification of the system
        login script.

        FAXclient for DOS has a new setup program.  The new features of
        the setup program include allowing you to:

        *   Set up the FAXclient for DOS to be run locally from the
            workstation drive.

        *   Change the configuration after you have set up FAXclient for
            DOS.

        *   Customize the page size for your faxes.

        *   Have the setup program automatically modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT
            file or login script to include the FAXclient for DOS
            directory from which you will be running it.

            Previously, users of FAXclient for DOS had to load three TSRs
        in workstation memory before they could use it.  Each of these
        three TSRs (WSRM.EXE, LOADRPM.EXE, and FAXPRD.EXE) had their own
        separate responsibilities:



                                        2
        FAXclient for DOS                                    Version 1.20

        *   The WSRM TSR was responsible for allowing communications
            functions defined by CAS specifications.  It used
            approximately 40K of memory.

        *   The LOADRPM TSR was responsible for converting files created
            in DOS applications to a format acceptable for transmission
            to fax machines.  It used approximately 7K of memory.

        *   The FAXPRD TSR was responsible for redirecting the
            application output to FAXserve's fax transmission queue.  It
            used approximately 64K of memory.

            Now, these TSRs have been replaced by one.  What was once
        done by three separate TSRs is now performed by FAXSWAP.EXE.
        What's more, less memory is used by loading this one TSR.
        FAXSWAP uses, at most, 26K of memory compared to the combined
        total of more than 100K of memory when using the three TSRs.
        In addition, you can load the FAXSWAP.EXE in conventional or
        upper (reserved) memory using any combination of parameters
        provided with the TSR.  These parameters allow you to take
        advantage of XMS and EMS memory to speed up the swapping process.

            We have also provided in this version of the FAXclient for
        DOS a method for sending a PCX, DCX, or ASCII file to the
        FAXserve transmission queue directly from the command line.  If
        you know the name of the file you want to fax, this feature makes
        it easy for you to simply enter the command with the necessary
        FAXserve host server information.  This eliminates having to
        enter your DOS application, opening the file, and submitting the
        fax job from there.  Refer to the section of this documents
        titled Sending a fax from the command line for more information
        about this feature.

            From the Fax Transmission Parameters form (formerly referred
        to in the FAXserve User Guide as the FAXclient for DOS
        Transmission Information Form) you can now specify whether you
        want your phonebook files, logo files, and ASCII text files from
        your default CAS directory or your mail (user) directory on the
        FAXserve host server.

            FAXclient for DOS now not only supports PCL 4, but it also
        supports PCL 5.  HP LaserJet Series 3 and 4 type printers both
        use PCL 5, meaning they allow for scalable fonts.  These fonts
        are rasterized rather than emulated.  This means your faxes come
        out crisper and clearer.

            A pop-up window will appear after you have specified the
        pertinent information in the FAXclient for DOS Transmission
        Parameters form and the file is sent to FAXserve for
        transmission.  This window will show the progress of the fax
        conversion and give you an idea of how long it took to convert
        the file.  A second pop-up window will appear, indicating whether
        the fax was successfully submitted to the FAXserve transmission
        queue.

            There is now a simple method by which you can toggle between
        using your physical printer for printing output and sending a
        file to FAXserve for faxing.  This is done with the hot key
        combination CTRL + R.  This hot key combination was implemented
        as a simpler means for you to toggle between an actual printer
        and FAXserve without having to continuously unload and reload the
        FAXSWAP TSR.
        If you decide to include notes on your cover page, you can now
        export this text to an ASCII text file.  This text file can then
        be used with other faxes that you send, either as the cover page
        note or as the fax itself.

            FAXclient for DOS has an improved method of sorting the
        records in the phonebook.  This means if you have a large
        phonebook with many entries, you will notice that it will take
        less time for the phonebook to be displayed.  FAXclient for DOS
        is now compatible with XMS NETx and EMS NETx shells.  You may
        decide to switch to one of these network shells since they
        utilize XMS (extended memory) or EMS (expanded memory).  That
        would then leave you with more conventional memory for running
        your applications.

            There are two files that are included with the FAXclient for
        DOS which can be used as batch files.  They are run from within
        your DOS-based application using one of two hot key combinations.
        The first batch file (accessed by pressing CTRL + 1) allows you
        to temporarily exit your application to run the FAXserve manager.
        The second file (accessed by pressing CTRL + 2) is there for you
        to create your own batch file.

            Refer to the following pages to use the new features of
        FAXclient for DOS.  Remember that these are only release notes
        and should be used with your FAXserve documentation set.


        Installing FAXclient for DOS on the host server

            When you install the FAXclient for DOS files on the host
        server, all FAXserve users that you have authorized will be able
        to run it from there.  The files will be installed to a
        subdirectory of the FAXserve home directory called \CLIENT.DOS
        (for example, SRVR/VOL:\FAXSERVE\CLIENT.DOS).

            Follow the instructions discussed in Section 2.8, Install
        FAXclient for DOS Files of your FAXserve User Guide to begin
        installation of the FAXclient for DOS files on the FAXserve host
        server.  Then follow the procedures listed below to finish
        installing the FAXclient:

        7.  Select the global fax page size.
            After the FAXclient for DOS files have been copied to the
            CLIENT.DOS subdirectory, a list will pop up, allowing you to
            select the page size that all outgoing faxes will be sent on.
            Select Letter, Legal, or A4.  Users who need to send faxes on
            a page size other than the global page size will need to run

            the FAXclient for DOS setup program to configure FAXclient to
            their needs.  Refer to the next section, Setting up the
            FAXclient for DOS for more information on this.

        8.  Select whether to have the system login script modified.  If
            you are a supervisor, supervisor equivalent, or have rights
            to update the system login script, the installation program
            will ask whether you want to modify the FAXserve host
            server's system login script to include a search path to the
            FAXclient for DOS subdirectory.  Press Y to proceed or press
            N to leave the login script as it is.  If you do not have
            rights to update the system login script, a message will
            appear, instead, recommending that you should have a
            supervisor modify the system login script by including a
            search path to the FAXclient for DOS subdirectory.


            When installation is complete, a message screen will appear,
        informing you that the installation was successful and how much
        disk space remains.  Users can now use the FAXclient for DOS to
        send their faxes.

        Customizing the FAXclient for DOS

            The setup program is now primarily for those FAXserve users
        who will not be using the global FAXclient for DOS directory
        created by the installation program.  As a result, this setup
        need not be run at all if all users will be using FAXclient for
        DOS with its global settings specified during installation.  The
        previous version of the FAXclient for DOS required you to perform
        two procedures before it could be used;  you had to install the
        FAXclient for DOS files on the FAXserve host server and then you
        had to go to every workstation and perform a setup on each.  This
        was because each FAXserve user needed to have their own FAXclient
        for DOS directory on their local drive.  Now when the FAXclient
        for DOS is installed from the diskettes to the FAXserve host
        server, it is designed to run from there.  You no longer need to
        go to each individual workstation to set it up.

            If, however, there will be people who will be faxing files
        using a page size that is different from the size specified
        during installation to the host server, you can still set up
        FAXclient for DOS so that it runs from their local workstation
        drive or network drive.  By doing this, differing fax page sizes
        will be supported.  Note that FAXclient for DOS will need to be
        set up on each workstation that will be faxing files using a
        different page size.

        Running the Setup Program

            The FAXclient for DOS files MUST be on the FAXserve host
        server before you can run the setup program.  See Section 2.8 in
        the FAXserve User Guide and the Installing FAXclient for DOS on
        the host server section in these notes for more information on
        copying the FAXclient for DOS files to the FAXserve host server.

        To run the FAXclient for DOS setup program, follow the directions
        listed below:

        1.  Log in to the FAXserve host server.

        2.  If necessary, map a drive to the FAXserve host server. For
            more information on mapping drives, refer to your Novell
            NetWare manuals.

        3.  If necessary, change to the drive mapped to the FAXserve host
            server. For example, if you mapped the FAXserve host server
            to the letter "F", you would enter the following command at
            the DOS prompt: F:

        4.  Go to the CLIENT.DOS subdirectory of the FAXserve home
            directory.  The FAXclient for DOS setup program resides in
            this subdirectory.  As a result, you will have to run the
            program from there. For example, if you installed FAXserve in
            a directory called FAXSERVE, you would enter the following
            command: CD FAXSERVE\CLIENT.DOS

        5.  At the command line, enter SETUP hst_srvr.
            Substitute the name of the FAXserve host server for the
            variable hst_srvr.

        6.  Enter the path to where you want to set up the FAXclient for
            DOS, or press ENTER to accept the default, C:\CLIENT.DOS.
            By default, the setup program will want to set up FAXclient
            for DOS in a directory called CLIENT.DOS off the local C:
            drive.

            If you want to set up FAXclient for DOS in a directory that
            does not exist, the setup program will automatically create
            the directory for you.  However, note that the setup program
            can only create the base directory;  it can not create more
            than one directory.

            Examples of valid paths include the following:

               On workstations:
                  C:\CLIENT.DOS
                  C:\FAXSERVE\CLIENT, as long as FAXSERVE is an existing
                  directory

        FAXclient for DOS                                    Version 1.20

               On servers:
                  GEN/VOL1:\FAXSERVE\DOSCLIENT, as long as FAXSERVE is an
                  existing directory on the VOL1 volume of the file
                  server GEN G:\DOSCLIENT, where G: is the drive mapped
                  to a file server you are attached to

        7.  Select the paper size for faxing your files.
            Highlight the page size that your faxes will be sent on and
            press ENTER.

        8.  Select whether to have your DOS path and AUTOEXEC.BAT file or
            your network mapping and login script modified by the setup
            program.

            If you set up FAXclient for DOS on a local drive, the setup
            program can modify the DOS PATH line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
            file so that it includes the path to the FAXclient for DOS
            directory.

            If you set up FAXclient for DOS on a network drive, the setup
            program can modify your login script to include the FAXclient
            for DOS directory.  Select Yes to have the setup program
            perform automatic modification.

            If you select No, you will have to manually change to the
            FAXclient directory when you want to run FAXclient for DOS.

            Loading the FAXSWAP TSR

            Before using your DOS application to create a file for
        faxing, you must load the FAXSWAP TSR in workstation memory.
        FAXSWAP.EXE must be loaded for use with a specific FAXserve host
        server and port number.  The host server that you specify will be
        the FAXserve host server that will be responsible for all your
        faxing activity.  The port number will be the port to which all
        printing redirection will be sent.

            The FAXSWAP TSR must be loaded before any other keyboard
        enhancement TSRs.  Also, make sure you are logged in or attached
        to the FAXserve host server.

        Follow the steps below to load the FAXSWAP TSR:

        1.  If necessary, change to the directory to which you set up the
            FAXclient for DOS.
            If your DOS path does not include the path to where the
            FAXclient for DOS is set up, you will have to manually change
            to this directory.
            For example, if you are running FAXclient for DOS from your
            workstation drive in a directory called CLIENT.DOS off the
            root, you would enter the following command at the DOS
            prompt: CD \CLIENT.DOS

        FAXclient for DOS                                    Version 1.20

        2.  Enter FAXSWAP /Hhst_srvr /# at the command line.
            Enter the name of the FAXserve host server for hst_srvr, and
            specify the port number between one and three,  inclusive,
            for #.

            It is required that the FAXSWAP TSR be loaded in the primary
        DOS shell.  In other words, you may not load an application,
        shell out to DOS from that application and then load FAXSWAP.
        However, you may load FAXSWAP from the primary DOS shell within
        the Windows 3.1 DOS shell.  Although, you may not use FAXSWAP
        from within Windows unless you are actually working inside the
        DOS shell.

            The FAXSWAP TSR is sensitive to network connection status.
        If your connection is lost and FAXSWAP is loaded, it auto-
        matically shifts into "local" mode.  If you login to the same
        server, you may re-establish your FAXSWAP connection with the key
        combination CTRL-R, which initiates "remote" mode.

            There are several command line options that can be used in
        conjunction with the FAXSWAP command described above.  These
        options allow you to tailor your FAXSWAP configuration to your
        particular needs and to view information about the TSR.  To use
        these options, simply type the appropriate option along with any
        additional information required (such as drives, server names,
        etc.; see below) along with the FAXSWAP command.

            For instance, to extend the previous FAXSWAP loading example,
        if you want to load the FAXSWAP TSR without using EMS for
        swapping purposes, you would type: FAXSWAP /Hserver /3 /E

        Each of the available command line options is described below:

            /H     FAXserve host server name.

            /U     Unload FAXSWAP TSR.  Not used when loading FAXSWAP.
                   To unload, enter FAXSWAP /U.

            /LPTn  LPT number for faxing, or just n where n=LPT # (1-3).
                   Or, simply enter /n.

            /Tn    Specify capture intercharacter time-out where n= time-
                   out in seconds.

            /X     Do not use XMS for swapping, even if XMS is available.
                   Using this option will automatically create a swap
                   file on your C: drive.

            /E     Do not use EMS for swapping.

            /S     Swap drive.  For example, /SF for drive F:.  The
                   default is the current drive.

            /D     Drives skipped on directory save.  For example, /DAB
                   to skip drives A: and B:.  /D* skips all drives.

            /I     Obtain information about the already loaded FAXSWAP
                   TSR.  To use, enter FAXSWAP /I.

        You can obtain the same information as listed above by typing
        FAXSWAP /? at the command line.

            Certain applications create very significant delays between
        the capture initialization and sending the data to the specified
        parallel port.  To overcome this, a time-out command line
        parameter is added to the FAXSWAP program.

        If left unspecified, the default time-out is 10 seconds between
        capturing two consecutive characters.  If this delay is
        insufficient, the initial pop-up screen reappears after the job
        is submitted successfully.  To change the default, reload FAXSWAP
        using the /T command line option described in the previous chart.
        After the /T, enter a new delay time in seconds.

            For example, to enter a new delay time of 15 seconds, load
        the FAXSWAP TSR with the following command:

            FAXSWAP /Hhst_srvr /# /T15

            The FAXSWAP TSR works in harmony with the NetWare capture
        command.  Loading FAXSWAP to the same port already captured by a
        NetWare capture causes the previous capture to be disabled.
        FAXSWAP will own this port, even if another capture is issued to
        the same port.  However, FAXSWAP may be suspended using the CTRL-
        R hot key combination (discussed later in this document) to
        initiate "local" mode.  This allows a capture to the same port to
        be initiated while FAXSWAP remains loaded.  Another CTRL-R to
        initiate "remote" mode causes FAXSWAP to regain control of that
        port.


        Sending a fax from the command line

            There may be times when you have a PCX, DCX, or ASCII file
        that you want to quickly fax to someone.  The FAXclient for DOS
        now supplies a DOS command, FAXSEND, that directly sends a file
        to the FAXserve transmission queue for faxing.  All you need to
        do is enter the command and provide the path to the file you want
        to fax.  You do not need to have the FAXSWAP TSR loaded to use
        this command.

            Make sure you are logged in or attached to the FAXserve host
        server.

        To send a fax from the DOS prompt:

        1.  If necessary, change to the directory where you run the
            FAXclient for DOS from.

        FAXclient for DOS                                    Version 1.20

            If your DOS path does not include the directory from where
            you run the FAXclient for DOS, you will have to manually
            change to this path.

            For example, if you run the DOS client from a subdirectory
            CLIENT.DOS off the FAXSERVE directory on the FAXserve host
            server that is currently mapped to drive G:, you would enter
            the following commands at the DOS prompt:
                 G:
                 CD\FAXSERVE\CLIENT.DOS

        2.  Type FAXSEND /Hhst_srvr and press Enter.
            Specify the name of the FAXserve host server for hst_srvr.
            You will then be asked to provide the complete path to the
            file that you want to fax.

        3.  Provide the complete path and file name (including extension)
            for the file you want to fax.

            The file you want to fax must be an ASCII, PCX, or DCX file.
            The Fax Transmission Parameters form (formerly referred to in
            the FAXserve User Guide as the FAXserve Transmission
            Information form) will appear after you provide the path and
            file to fax.

        4.  Fill out the Fax Transmission Parameters form, as explained
            in your FAXserve User Guide.
            Please refer to your FAXserve User Guide for information on
            how to complete this form and send the file to FAXserve.


        Specifying where to access files

            The FAXclient for DOS provides a quick and simple means of
        specifying the directory from which you want to access your
        phonebook files, logo files, and cover page ASCII files;  it is
        done at the Fax Transmission Parameters form.  By default, you
        will access the phonebook files, logo files, and cover page text
        files from your default CAS directory on the FAXserve host
        server.  However, you can export them to and access them from
        your mail (user) directory, instead.

        Follow the procedure below to specify from what directory you
        want to access these files:

        1.  Go to the Fax Transmission Parameters form.
            You will see this form whenever you send your file to print
            to FAXserve.

        2.  Press F8.
            The Configure FAXclient Directories form will appear.  This
            form will show you the FAXserve host server you are using,
            what your default CAS directory is, and what your mail (user)
            directory is.  Note that your CAS directory and user
            directory may be the same.  It depends on what the

                                        10
        FAXclient for DOS                                    Version 1.20

            supervisor, FAXserve administrator, or you have set as your
            default CAS directory when you were authorized as a FAXserve
            user.  Refer to Section 4.5, "Customize User Profile" in your
            FAXserve User Guide for more information.

        3.  Select the directory from which you want to access your
            phonebook files, logo files, and cover text files.
            By default, all files will be accessed from your default CAS
            directory.  To access files from your mail directory on the
            FAXserve host server, press ENTER and select "User".  Note
            that you do not have to access each type of file from the
            same directory.  In other words, you can access your
            phonebook files from your CAS directory, and access your logo
            files and cover text files from your mail directory.

        4.  When done, press F10.
            Each type of file will now be accessed from the respective
            directory that you selected.

            To avoid synchronization problems between the FAXserve
        Manager option to Customize User Profile (more specifically the
        default CAS path) and the FAXclient's configuration option, the
        FAXclient displays your previous CAS path.  In other words,
        changing your default CAS path in the FAXserve Manager only
        updates the CAS path definition in the FAXclient configuration
        option.  Any CAS paths previously specified for the phonebook,
        logo or text files are not updated according to that new CAS path
        definition.  Instead, your previous CAS path is displayed.  To
        update to the new CAS path, select the CAS option and save the
        new configuration.  You may also leave the previously specified
        CAS path as is, and reference a path that is different from both
        your new CAS and User paths.


        Cover page text

            When specifying information in the FAXclient for DOS Fax
        Transmission Parameters form, you can specify whether to include
        a cover page with your fax.  If you decide you want to include a
        cover page, you can also include notes on the cover page.
        FAXclient for DOS now allows you to import any ASCII text file
        that has a .TXT extension and stored either in your default CAS
        directory or your mail directory on the host server as your cover
        page note.

            You can also save text that you enter for the cover page note
        to an ASCII text file.  The file will be automatically saved with
        a .TXT extension in your default CAS directory or mail directory
        on the FAXserve host server.

        To export the cover page note text to an ASCII text file, follow
        the steps below:

        1.  Send your output to print to FAXserve.
            The Fax Transmission Parameters form (formerly referred to in

            the When, From, To, FAX Number, and Page Headers fields as
            described in the FAXserve User Guide.


        2.  In the Cover Page field, select "Yes".
            Press ENTER and then press the Y key.

        3.  In the Cover Text field, select "Yes".
            Press ENTER and then press the Y key.  The Cover Text editor
            will appear.

        4.  Enter your cover page text.

        5.  Press F4 to save this file and export it as an ASCII text
            file.  A window will appear in which you must provide a file
            name.

        6.  Enter a name for the file to be exported to.
            The file name may contain up to eight characters.  Do not
            enter an extension - the extension .TXT will be automatically
            added to the file name you enter.  The file will be saved to
            your mail directory or your default CAS directory;  it
            depends on which directory you specified the files to be
            saved.  Refer to the "Specifying where to access files"
            section previously discussed.

        To import an ASCII text file to your fax file, follow the steps
        below:

        1.  Send your output to print to FAXserve.
            The Fax Transmission Parameters form (formerly referred to in
            the FAXserve User Guide as the FAXclient for DOS Transmission
            Information form) will appear.
            Fill out the information for the When, From, To, FAX Number,
            and Page Headers fields as described in the FAXserve User
            Guide.

        2.  In the Cover Page field, select "Yes".
            Press ENTER and then press the Y key.

        3.  In the Cover Text field, select "Yes".
            Press ENTER and then press the Y key.  The Cover Text editor
            will appear.

        4.  Press F3.
            A list of all ASCII text files with the .TXT extension will
            be displayed.  These files are stored in either your mail
            directory or your default CAS directory, depending on which
            one you specified your cover page files should be saved to.
            See the Specifying where to access files section previously
            discussed for more information.

            text.


        Configuring FAXserve to support PCL 5

            FAXclient for DOS now supports faxing using scalable fonts.
        To use FAXserve to generate HP PCL Level 5 files, you will have
        to configure your DOS-based application to print to an HP
        LaserJet 3 or 4 type printer.

        To configure your DOS-based application to generate PCL 5 fax
        files, follow the procedure below:

        1.  Enter your DOS-based application.

        2.  Go to the application's printer configuration.
            Since all applications are different, you may want to refer
            to your respective application's manuals to find where you
            configure the printer for use with the application.

        3.  Select a Hewlett Packard (HP) LaserJet 3 or 4 as your printer
            type.  Only HP LaserJet 3 and 4 printers support PCL 5.

        4.  Select the printer port that you specified when loading the
            FAXSWAP TSR.
            For example, if you loaded the FAXSWAP TSR to use LPT3, you
            would select LPT3 as the printer port for the DOS-based
            application.


        Pop-up status windows

            Also new to the FAXclient for DOS are two pop-up screens.
        One screen is a status screen which shows you the progress of the
        fax conversion as it is being done.  The second pop-up screen
        will show you whether the fax was successfully submitted to the
        FAXserve transmission queue or not.  These screens are purely
        informational.

        You will see these screens after you provide all information in
        the Fax Transmission Parameters form and press F10 to send the
        file to FAXserve.

        Toggling between printing and faxing

            Previously, if you specified FAXserve to use the same LPT as
        your physical printer, you had to unload all the FAXclient for
        DOS TSRs before you could print your output to the physical
        printer.  Then, when you wanted to fax the output with FAXserve,
        you had to reload the TSRs.  This practice has now been
        eliminated with the implementation of the hot key combination,
        CTRL + R.  This hot key combination toggles between Local and
        Remote.  "Local" allows you to print your output to the physical
        printer that is configured to your LPT.  "Remote" allows you to
        fax your output.  Toggle between "Local" and "Remote" according
        to your needs.

            Some applications have a graphics mode.  If you are in your
        application's graphics mode and press CTRL + R, the pop window
        that informs you whether you are in Local or Remote mode will not
        appear.  Instead, you will hear one or two beeps.  One beep will
        represent "Local" mode (meaning printing to your physical
        printer); two beeps will represent "Remote" mode (meaning faxing
        with FAXserve).


        Using the FAXUSERn.BAT batch files

            Provided with this new FAXclient for DOS are two batch files,
        FAXUSER1.BAT and FAXUSER2.BAT.  These two files can be run only
        from within an application after you have loaded FAXSWAP.EXE into
        memory and you have pressed the correct hot key combination.

            FAXUSER1.BAT allows you to temporarily escape your
        application and run the FAXserve Manager.  Note that your path
        should include the path to the FAXserve Manager.  Run
        FAXUSER1.BAT by pressing the hot key combination CTRL + 1 from
        within your DOS-based application.


            The FAXUSER1.BAT file on the distribution disk is provided as
        a model.  It will require the user to change the host server name
        on the line that loads the Resident Manager (i.e. WSRM FaxHost)
        to the name of their own host server.

            FAXUSER2.BAT allows you to create and customize this batch
        file to run any DOS command(s), except for TSRs.  Open this file
        in any editor to find out what restrictions this file has.  After
        customizing this file, run it by pressing the hot key combination
        CTRL + 2 from within your DOS-based application.

        FAXclient Restrictions and Limitations

            There are several program restrictions and limitation that
        both users and supervisors of the FAXclient for DOS should be
        aware of.  These items are detailed below:

            Users with insufficient memory to create FAXclient for DOS
        swap files in XMS or EMS are forced to create a "swap file" on a
        hard disk.  In this case the message "Creating the swap file on
        drive x:" will appear after loading FAXSWAP.

            If this swap file targets a network drive, the user must
        unload FAXSWAP whenever they logout.  Otherwise, an unstable
        condition will result.  In other words, when FAXSWAP is used to
        capture a file from another user (i.e. a user who is logged into
        this work station after the initial user logged out and while
        FAXSWAP remained loaded), and the swap file is created on a
        network drive, then the fax job will fail to submit.

            The FAXclient for DOS will not currently support the VLM
        NetWare shell.

            The FAXclient for DOS will not support a DOS copy of a PCX or
        DCX file (e.g. COPY CHEYLOGO.PCX LPT3).  If you wish to submit
        files in this format, use the FAXSEND utility (described in this
        document) as in: FAXSEND /Hserver_name /Xfilename

            Although XMSNETX is supported, please note that this NetWare
        shell uses the High Memory Area (HMA).  If you use the DOS=HIGH
        statement in your CONFIG.SYS, then DOS is also using the HMA.
        DOS 5.0 uses 60k of memory and the XMSNETX shell uses 40k.
        Therefore, the trade-off may work against you.

            When printing a graphic image within a DOS application, the
        amount of time it takes the image to be submitted to the printer
        port can be significant.  The conversion pop-up will not appear
        until this is finished.  If you find yourself wondering whether
        or not the job was submitted, it is suggested that you first
        check any printer control option within the application.  This
        should provide you with the status of the submission.

        Before you proceed

        - Compatible with XMS NETx and EMS NETx shells
        - A new setup program
        - Support for PCL 5
        - Hot key combination toggles between printing and faxing
