6) Ability to include a cover-sheet template.
7) Ability to include multiple attachment files ( Fax-Packs )
8) On-Line Help!!!
9) Ability to Print to Fax
Question? Gee Dave what happened to v1.6 - 2.1
Answer:
### From this point forward I'm going to try to keep rev. levels
similar to flexfax. The reason for this is that quickfax now
has hard-coded all the client software. You still need to
install the client-software for the TypeRules and PageSize
databases still.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--------------------------------------------------------
2.2.7 Changes:
1) Cleaned up print to fax. Now is "impressario friendly.".
2) Added the ability to select a default printer for printing
of cover-sheets and other faxable items. This actually fixes
the issue of a recursive call to qfaxmove.
3) Cleaned up the faxPreferences window.
4) Fixed an open file descriptor bug, which was causing periodic
dumps.
2.2.5 Changes:
1) Implemented Print to Fax Feature. On installation quickfax will create
a virtual-printer that you can select as your "default" printer.
When you print to this "printer-device" it will pop-up a print
panel giving you the options to "Fax","Print","Fax & Print","Cancel".
also allows you to select different printers. If you select "Print"
it will print to the device specified. If you select "Fax" it will
either start-up quickfax with the files already attached or it will
"send" the files to the current quickfax session.
2) Fixed bug in cover-sheet option that was not allowing re-faxed
changes to be recognized.
3) Implemented newer FlexFAX code that was causing quickfax to bomb
when FlexFAX called fxFatal (fatal error code).
2.2 Changes:
1) Quickfax now has a real On-Line help. It accesses showcase
so it does take a second to load. It will be cleaned and
polished as time goes on.
2) Completely re-wrote the phone-book implementation. I think
anyone who has felt the misery of trying to use it will appreciate
the new version. I kept the same GUI but started from scratch. It
is much more effective and faster than before.
3) Phone-book access. Now when you click on the new search toggle
for the coversheet the phone-book will auto-search for the information
you type into the field. (i.e. if you type "ABC Corp." all entries
for ABC Corp. will show up under the new 'find' option menu.
4) Phone-book list management. After debating(with myself) on how to
handle phone-book lists. I decided to make them external files.
There are now new 'menu' choices to 'open' 'save' 'save as' for
lists that are created. I really like how this came together.
5) I created a new sub-program called 'convpros' that will take tab
delimited output and create a phone book list or merge it with the
main phone-book. See below for further info.
6) Changed the remove option in the 'File' area to be now Del/Remove.
if you select files on the left side and press the button it will
now ask if you want to 'Delete' the file. Selecting on the right
does the same as before (removes the file from the send list).
7) faxstat code is now fully implemented. Quickfax no longer calls anymore
pipes to flexfax programs. This was the final pipe, it was held up
do to a unique bug in the flexfax code, which stopped Quickfax from
repeating the call.
8) added enviromental variables for file viewers.
*NOTE: Quickfax requires v2.2 of FlexFAX or Better.
---------------------------------------------------
Quickfax also comes with a command prompt program
called 'convpros' which will take a tab delimited
file and convert it into a phonebook file. The
options are:
convpros -i -o
