Release Notes

A.1 Release 3.1.00 Changes

1.CompuFax has been converted to run Alpha AXP in addition to VAX. Functionally CompuFax is identical on both systems, although each machine requires its own executable.

2.A new licensing scheme has been adapted, with a low-cost basic unit and add-on features.

These are:

•Basic Unit (ASCII Send only, single node)

•PostScript Conversion option

•Cluster/ Network Support option

•Overlay/ Landscaping option

•Receive-to-Disk option (Call for availability)

•ALL-IN-1 Interface option

A.2 Release 3.0.01 Changes

1.Cluster/ Network Support. CompuFax now supports the use of one or more nodes as FAX servers with users on other nodes able to send FAXes without the need to have FAX hardware attached to their node. Any number of nodes may be set up as FAX server nodes with automatic fall over to a new FAX server node in the event one goes down.

Commands Added:

SHOW SERVER See: FAX> HELP SHOW SERVER

2.Overlays. You can now merge your text files with existing bitmap files and fax the result as a single unit. Cover sheets are also supported by this feature. With this feature, you can create more interesting and professional looking faxes with cover sheets.

New Command Qualifiers:

/ OVERLAY

Format: SEN D / OVERLAY=

See FAX> HELP SEN D / OVERLAY

/ COVERSHEET

Format: SEN D / COVERSHEET[= filespec_of_text_for_coversheet] See FAX> HELP SEN D / COVERSHEET
