Changes for release 2.5 (NOT IN THE MANUAL)
===========================================

  1) The new Dial Options command in the Phonebook Options menu
     allows you to specify a dialing prefix (e.g. 9 plus a comma to
     get an outside line on your phone system), AND a dialing suffix
     (e.g. a calling card number or long distance account access
     code). For numbers dialed FROM the US (both internal and
     international), the calling-card support automatically replaces
     the leading 1 (or 011 for international) with a 0 (or 001).
  2) The User Details dialog (accessed from the User... button in the
     FaxWorks Driver Setup dialog) allows you to change the cover sheet
     title (the default is "FaxWorks Cover Sheet"), and the cover sheet
     subtitle (the default is "Sent by <your fax board name>".
  3) FaxWorks now provides a DDE interface which allows DDE-capable
     applications to specify fax destinations via DDE commands. See
     the READDDE.TXT file for further information.
  4) FaxWorks now supports drag-and-drop. When the FaxWorks icon is at the
     bottom of the screen you can fax documents without opening the
     application that owns them by dragging the document files from
     the File Manager and dropping them onto the FaxWorks icon. FaxWorks
     then automatically opens the application owning the document, asks
     it to print it to the FaxWorks driver, and closes it after printing.

Quick-start Installation
========================

****** Do not attempt to run the FaxWorks install program if you have
*NOTE* DOS FASTOPEN utility installed in your system.

     MS-DOS Executive: Click on the -A- drive or press Ctrl+A,
                                 then run INSTALL.EXE
     All others:       Select the A: drive as the CURRENT DRIVE, and
                                 run INSTALL.EXE         
     (Substitute the drive containing the FaxWorks release disk, if not A:)
  3) Enter the user id
  4) Press OK and files will be copied; change disks if prompted
  5) Set FaxWorks options; User Details and Directories are most important
  6) To send a FAX, issue File/Print from any Windows application


Font Installation
=================

Adobe Type Manger:
------------------
FaxWorks is fully compatible with Type Manager. If you have Postscript soft
fonts (Type 1 or Type 3) you must have Adobe Type Manager in order to
use them with FaxWorks.

Bitstream FaceLift:
-------------------
FaxWorks is fully compatible with FaceLift. However, if you install
FaxWorks AFTER FaceLift, you must run the FaceLift Control Panel, open
the Printers icon, select FaxWorks and check the "Assign SHELL-Driver"
check box. Finally, make sure you use the Bitstream font names (such
as Dutch and Swiss) rather than the Windows font names (e.g. Helv and
Times) when using FaceLift with FaxWorks.

Windows fonts:
--------------
For best results, use the Windows Control Panel to install from the
Microsoft Windows release disk(s) provided with the Windows retail package
the CGA RES and VGA RES fonts.

See your Windows user guide for details on installing fonts using the
Control Panel.

FontWare Drivers:
-----------------
This release comes with drivers for BitStream's FontWare, versions 2.0
and 3.0. To install the FontWare drivers, you must first have
FontWare installed on a hard drive, then:

  1) Select the A: drive and run FWINSTAL from the DOS prompt
     (Substitute the drive containing the FaxWorks release disk, if not A:)
  2) Provide FWINSTAL with the drive & directory where FontWare is installed
  3) FWINSTAL automatically installs the FontWare 2 or FontWare 3 drivers
  4) Run FontWare and select FaxWorks as the current printer (with the desired
     orientation and resolution) from the FontWare control panel, then re-
     generate any fonts you have previously built for your screen or printer.
     This assures 3-way WYSIWYG among screen, printer and FaxWorks.

Z-Soft's SoftType, & Other Font Managers:
-----------------------------------------
SoftType, and any other font manager that generates Windows GDI
fonts, can be used to generate fonts for FaxWorks using the following
resolution information.

  Standard Resolution, Portrait:  Horizontal 204dpi; Vertical 98dpi
  Standard Resolution, Landscape: Horizontal 98dpi ; Vertical 204dpi
  Fine Resolution, Portrait:      Horizontal 204dpi; Vertical 196dpi
  Fine Resolution, Landscape:     Horizontal 196dpi; Vertical 204dpi

Incompatible Font Managers:
---------------------------
A number of font managers available for Windows operate by providing
enhanced printer drivers for a certain number of common printers,
such as the Hewlett Packard LaserJet series.  Since this type of font
manager replaces the existing printer driver it will not provide font
support for FaxWorks.  Examples of this type of product are Publishers
Powerpack from Atech and SuperPrint from Zenographics.

  and use of FaxWorks Windows, and Windows and FontWare fonts.
