File Breakup. Many users have software that generates large text files, such as financial reports, which
then need to be broken into smaller units and faxed to different destinations. CompuFax now has a File
Breakup feature that makes this simple to do through embedded file directives.
New File Directives:
# # BREAKUP See FAX> HELP FILE_DIRECTIVE BREAKUP
# # N EWFAX See FAX> HELP FILE_DIRECTIVE N EWFAX
# # EN DFAX See FAX> HELP FILE_DIRECTIVE EN DFAX
4.
Font Selection. With ASCII to FAX conversion you can now select different fonts, either from the
command line, or with embedded file directives. This makes CompuFax more flexible and easier to adapt
to your own requirements and preferences.
New Command Qualifier:
/ FON T
Format: SEN D / FON T= filespec
N ew Embedded Command:
# # FON T [filename] See FAX> HELP FILE_DIRECTIVE FON T
5.
Spacing between characters for ASCII to FAX conversion can now also be specified.
New Embedded Command:
# # CHARACTER_SIZE [ DOTS | IN CHES | MILLIMETERS [vert [horz ]]]
See FAX> HELP FILE_DIRECTIVE CHARACTER_SIZE
6.
A new program that expands the journal file to an ASCII file that can be easily used by an application
program was added. See FAX> HELP JNL2ASCII. A sample DCL command file ASCJNL.COM was
also added which displays the fields in each record produced by JNL2ASCII.
7.
A new command file FAX$DIR:FAX_MONITOR.COM was added which checks CompuFax every 15
minutes and notifies the designated user via mail when the server is down or when one of the devices is
off line. The command file should be modified to designate the user to send mail to, and for the number
of devices to check. It can also be modified to send reply notifications instead of mail messages.

1.
The remote server can put a number of NETSERVER.COM files in the SYS$LOGIN directory for the
process which started the remote server. This occurs when the actual server has been shut down.
Solution:
Create a copy of this file with a high sequence number.
Example:
$ CREATE SYS$LOGIN:NETSERVER.LOG;32765
Since the highest allowable number is 32767, a maximum of two more files will be created by the system.
2.
FaxBox, Xerox 7021 and Xerox 7033 devices are no longer supported.
