====================

16-Feb-92
 AfaxDemo - First public release
            (AfaxDemo.lzh 16-Feb-92 12:43:26 size 318618)


19-Feb-92
 newfax,faa,afaxsend
 Windows for newfax, and send/receive status, made non-activating

 (also faxfax convertor program - not included in release yet)

 Config options and spool commands made case-independent.
 (strnicmp was fixed in Aztec 5.2a)

 Local ID string is not quoted. You must quote manually if using
 Maestro modem.

 AmigaFax1.lzh - First full OS release archive

28-Feb-92
  Fixed problem of mkafax corrupting memory when run with old chips
  and Vn2.0 DOS.  Now checks for AmigaDos2 AND the ECS Agnus big-blit
  flag before attempting big blits. (Hopefully all occurrances found)

  Allow view-selection of any files from afax window

8-Mar-92
  Fixed bug with ARP requester in afax under 1.3,
  introduced when adding ASL requester support.
  Reported by Michael Beer.

11-Mar-92
  Modified afaxprt to try to cope with faxes longer than single-sheet,
  for use with laser printers. Configuration option MinLines allows
  user to specify minimum number of lines on a page before printing
  it, to get over problem of faxes JUST larger than one sheet.

??-Mar-92
  dvifax added to registered version distribution. Thanks to Tomas
  Rokicki of Radical Eye Software for help in getting this going.
  Syntax: dvifax texfile.dvi -o faxfile.afx

24-Mar-92
  ***** IMPORTANT ****** Config options changed *******
  Version 1.23 of faa and afaxsend now use the RSetup and WSetup
  config options, if set, for total modem setup. The config lines take
  multiple space-separated strings, each MUST be preceded by an AT.
  If you use these lines, you MUST put in the correct modem setup strings.
  See the example on the distribution.

27-Apr-92
  Added RRate to distribution Config file. Code to use it has been in
  1.25 all along. No revision number change.

27-Apr-92
  New FifoBBS, works with VLT version 5.517. New script files to go
  with it. Probably not 100%, but much better than previous version.

3-May-92
  Bug-fix for mkafax (why has no-one reported it before ?) Changing fax
  fonts during a document would not work if the .font was left off the
  font name. New version mkafax 1.26

16-May-92
  Added vertical flip option to ViewAFax, currently off 'i' key.
  ViewAFax version 1.28.

23-Jul-92
  Converted to use OwnDevUnit locking, rather than Dillon UUCP1.15
  locking system. Modified getty from UUCP1.16 to include in
  distribution. (Note that you can still use 1.15 style locking by
  defining the variable "Lock115"
  Added environmental variable support. All Config-file variables can
  be environmental (ENV:) variables now. This will take precedence.

27-Jul-92
  Minor changes to AFaxPrt, hopefully should fix some problems being
  encountered by testers where program would appear to loop.
  Local as well as global environmental variables added (under 2.0 only)
  Version numbers bumped to 1.30

16-Aug-92
  Fixed ViewAFax to work in Productivity and other "non-standard" modes.
  Most modem commands and status codes now configurable as Config file
  or environment variables. Variables are:
  +FCON +FCSI +FTSI +FDCS +FDIS +FK +FPTS +FET +FHNG
  +FDT +FDR +FLID
  (Version 1.31)

18-Aug-92
  Null-string environment variables for +FLID, +FDIS and +FET commands
  now result in nothing being sent or expected. (No AT prefix sent)
  fxfx now added to distribution (reg. and demo, no docs yet)

30-Aug-92
  Fax decoder was clearing 1 byte too many in raster, causing mungwall
  hits. Fixed in ViewAfax (1.32) and AfaxPrt (1.31)

17-Sep-92
  New versions of afaxprt (1.32,1.33) which fix enforcer hits, also
  tidy up operation considerably. MinLines (config) now has new function.

25-Sep-92
  Some decoder fixes, viewafax will once again display all scales.
  ViewAfax 1.33

17-Oct-92 (or before)
  Support for Commodore 'Version' command added, in addition to 'uident'.
  Will appear in modules as recompiled.
  Use 'Version filename full'

  AFaxSend has had XON/XOFF support added, as part of experimental
  support for NetComm M7F, based on Rockwell chipset, which has a bug
  in the CTS/RTS hardware handshake code.

  Faa has had -p option added, bumps priority by one. On request of
  Georg Sassen. (1.32)

01-Nov-92
  MkAfax (1.34), added style option to .FONT command, also .STYLE and
  .ENDF commands added. Fonts and styles now nest.
  Also added (limited) AFAX file inclusion capability.

07-Nov-92
  fifo-handler with WaitForChar() support added to distribution. Matt
  has now added this support to his sources. Version 37.4WFC

13-Nov-92
  afaxilbm (1.34), now handles "Standard Resolution" fax to ILBM by
  doubling height. Consistent use of ILBM size, allows resulting ILBM
  to be transmitted as Standard or Fine at correct aspect.

17-Nov-92
  faa (1.34) has -Q option, allows setting baudrate when run in Getty
  mode, for use with TrapDoor

9-Dec-92
  faa (1.35) now issues an ATZ to reset the modem when terminating in
  standalone mode, following several requests. Note that this would
  happen on DTR drop anyway if modem was in recommended AT&D3 mode.

  afaxsend (1.35) Now has a 30 second timeout on writes, which may
  avoid some reported problems where transmit lockups occurred. Also
  possible to ^C abort during read and write requests (faa also),this
  is logged to log file.

  PasTeX compatability programs donated by Martin Steppler and
  Martin Horneffer added to distribution. (1.35)

27-Jan-93
  Added the "undocumented" switches -s (standard) and -f (fine) to fxfx.
  This will force the vertical resolution flag, without modifying the
  data at all. For a fax machine in Brazil that sends in Fine mode, but
  insists it is sending standard. "fxfx -f" lets the pages be printed
  normally.

9-May-93
  AfaxILBM would occasionally crash decoding corrupted fax files.
  Fixed version, 1.36
  (reported by Nils Goroll)

21-May-93
  Due to loss of 210M system HD, source to above change was lost, as
  well as sample file provided by Nils to provoke problem. Executables
  were retained. Remade fixed version, now labelled 1.36B. Please
  report any problems with it.

  ZyXEL released Vn6.01 ROMs which don't require byte-aligned EOLs,
  just in time so I don't have to provide this! If anyone needs it, let
  me know.

9-June-93
  Added "SyncEOL" config flag for mkafax, forces faxes to have
  byte-aligned EOL markers. May fix rare problems with ZyXEL modem
  versions before 6.00. Increases fax file size.
  Versions 1.37/1.37D.

11-Aug-93
  Vn 1.37 of faa should handle long quoted remote IDs better now.

03-Oct-93
  Minor modification to getty, may fix occasional timing problems with
  some Supras. (Timeout extended on CARRIER message)

31-Jan-64
  Finally got a few hours to look at the fax printer-driver. New
  programs afax.driver (for DEVS:Printers) and printsymb. Prelim.
  version is graphics-mode print only. Some mods made to afax to interface
  to it. While working on this, I finally tracked down an elusive bug
  that showed up in afaxprt, turned out to be the old = instead of == in
  a general request handler. The fix should show up in several of the
  modules now. General version number 1.38.
  Also added FPrint (fax print redirector) so don't need to change prefs
  for 1-off fax prints. Could hot-key via FKeys.

17-Feb-94
  Afaxsend was crashing when dialing out to LONG (40 digit) numbers,
  due to buffer-overflow. Buffer length has been doubled.
  Problem found by Krzysztof Adamski. New version 1.38.

19-Feb-94
  Several changes to printsymb and afax.driver after testing with
  Final Copy II. Also added afax.driver.debug to distribution.

06-Mar-94
  Added ClipPage config option for printsymb, which clips white-space
  from the bottom of each page when set. (Testing - may allow value to
  configure clipping top/bottom/both/none ?)

10-Mar-94
  Added Afax.library to support licence management, and allow single
  distribution for registered and demo (for ftp, etc). This will allow
  limited-use licences for evaluation, etc., and could also use to
  move fax functions into library later on.

15-Mar-94
  Converted documentation to TeXInfo format, allowing same source for
  TeX, ASCII text and AmigaGuide documentation.
