2.1 What Is CompuFax?

CompuFax is a collection of computer programs that lets you send fax document files directly from your VAX or Alpha-AXP VMS terminal or workstation. CompuFax is a software package with many options and supporting features that make it powerful, yet easy to use.

2.2 Getting Started

A CompuFax user can verify that CompuFax is running on the system with the FAX SHOW QUEUE command. Here is an example:

$ FAX SHOW QUEUE

CompuFax queue report as of 27-JUN -1994 12:51:58.11 0 FAX server queue entries

If you do not get this type of display, contact your System Manager, as CompuFax may not have been installed yet, or is not running. Chapter 1 provides information on how to install and start up CompuFax. Looking at the above example, the word queue refers to a list of faxes that are waiting to be sent. The queue is empty here, so there are no faxes to send. The dollar sign ($) in the example indicates the system prompt, which may be different on your system.
