2. Execute the command (batch) file CFINSTAL.BAT, using as argument the path to the PCIF directory on
the server (With Windows 95 you can execute this using Start | Run, or with Windows 3.1 using Program
Manager | File | Run, or you can use the MS-DOS prompt.) For example:
C:\ CFIN STAL E:\ FAX\ PCIF
(Note: This assumes that CFINSTAL.BAT is in the C:\ root directory and the path to the server's FAX
directory is defined as logical drive E:. Or, you may have a path name, such as \ \ GORMAN\ FAX_FILES,
where GORMAN is the name of the VMS server machine and FAX_FILES is the share name by which the
PCIF directory is known to the PC. In Windows 95 you can verify the path name by double clicking on
Network Neighborhood, then on the server's icon, then on directory icons until the file names listed above are
displayed. At that point the window's title bar will display the full path name.)
Executing CFINSTAL.BAT should automatically do the following:
Create a temporary installation directory on the PC
Copy the other files required for installing the PC Interface
Execute the Setup program to perform the installation
Ask for permission to delete the temp directory and its contents
Delete the temporary directory and its contents if you opted to do so.
(Note: The CFINSTAL.BAT file is not deleted automatically, but you may do so when the installation is
complete.)
Here are annotated sample responses to the installation procedure:
Path: C:\ COMPUFAX N ame of PC directory into which to install the
CompuFax PC Interface files
Server Path: E:\ FAX\ PCIF Path to Server's PCIF directory
N ame: Michael A. Jones Michael is the person who will be using this PC to send
faxes. This is the sender's name that will be printed on
the coversheets of faxes he will send from this PC
Username: M_JON ES Michael's VMS login name
ID: MAJ Michael's initials. If there is another user with the
same initials, he should use some other unique three
character alphanumeric code, so CompuFax can tell his
faxes apart from those of other users on the network.
3. After a successful installation, if you did not specify a path name to the server's PCIF directory (see # 2
Note, above,) you should now edit the COMPUFAX.INI file to provide that information. (The default path,
if you did not enter a path name, is C:\ . If you do not change this, all attempts to send faxes from the PC
Interface will result in fax data files being written to the root directory of drive C:, and remaining there until
you delete them.)
4. Verify that the PC Interface program executes by double clicking on the CompuFax icon. This should bring
up the CompuFax--- Destination window. Click on the Cancel button to exit, then proceed to the PostScript
Driver Initialization procedure below.
6.3 PostScript Driver Initialization
The CompuFax PC Interface uses a Windows-supplied PostScript driver program to deal with word
processed files (other than plain ASCII text files or files already in PostScript format.) This section details how
