FAXUAL.LIB

The first fax library for Clipper

FAXual.lib is designed to give Clipper 5.01 programs access to the full power of fax modems using Intel's Communicating Applications Specification (CAS).

Faxes can contain text and/or PCX-format graphics and can be sent immediately or scheduled for later transmission. Hardcode page size and font size, or let your users choose from runtime options. Files can be sent direct to other CAS-compliant modems at up to 9600 baud.

FAXual.lib users can install four Intel SatisFAXtion cards in one machine or use the Net SatisFAXtion software or other network CAS servers to share fax resources across a network. The library can be completely overlaid. Memory requirements in the lower 640K are under 8K.

Best of all, FAXual.lib operates in the background without interfering with the program in the foreground.
