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.
