Summary of changes as of GPFax Release 1.01 22th January 1992

In our efforts to continually improve GPFax we have added or changed
the following since the manual was printed.


1.	Fax Resolution

GPFax will now automatically receive faxes in 'fine' mode if requested
by the transmitting station. For example, many weather faxes are 
transmitted in fine mode. A fax in 'fine' mode has double the vertical
resolution and is 196 dpi.

GPFax automatically detects between fine and standard mode faxes when
printing and will adjust the resolution and aspect ratios accordingly.

When viewing such faxes, GPFax will attempt to allocate sufficient 
CHIP memory to allow a view of the complete fax.  This may require up 
to 700K of CHIP memory and may not always succeed.  If the allocation 
fails GPFax will progressively fall back as described in the manual 
and allocate the largest block available.

This is an automatic feature requiring no use intervention.



2.	MANUAL Fax Transmission

Since GPFax allows manual reception of faxes from the main menu, we 
have added the complementary function to allow manual transmission. 

This allows you to send faxes to people who do not have their fax 
machine on-line permanently.  You must dial them manually with your 
phone, ask them to start their fax machine in answer mode, then tell 
GPFax to send the required faxes.


To manually transmit a fax, select the required faxes as normal but 
enter the following sequence as the number to dial (either direct or 
in the phone book) and select the 'Now' gadget from the transmit 
options.

	enter		MAN!

as the first 4 characters of the number. You may also enter the 
telephone number for reference if you wish.

For example		MAN! 5557676


If this 'MAN!' sequence is detected as the first four characters of a 
phone number, GPFax will prepare the necessary page headers and cover 
pages and make ready to send the fax.  When the you hear the remote 
system fax tones, select the 'Send' gadget from the displayed 
requester.


3.	IFF Images - colour luminosity

There was a minor problem with GPFax when converting iff images using
the convert to fax option where the colour luminosity was not taken
into account.

This is now changed. GPFax now detects the relative colour intensity of

black and white so that what you see on the DeluxePaint screen is what
you get on the fax page. 


4.	IFF Images - multi colours

When using the convert to fax option, if the iff image has more than
one bit-plane (more than two colours), GPFax will now give you the
option to strip out the first bit-plane from the image. This only
applies when used in interactive mode (i.e. from Convert to Fax).

If iff conversion is done as part of the cover page or with imbedded
control codes in text files, the image will be stripped automatically.


5.	IFF Images - Aspect 

GPFax does not aspect correct iff images when using the Convert to Fax
option.  If specific aspect correction is required, use the printer
driver option and print the image direct from DeluxePaint.


6.	AREXX

Release 1.0 of GPFax does not contain an AREXX port. Work is underway 
to implement full AREXX in a later release.  This will allow complete 
control of GPFax from an AREXX script or from other software.


7.	Modem Hardware and Chipsets

From version 1.01, GPFax has been fully tested on the fax/modem chipsets
from both the XR and Rockwell as used by Maestro and Supra.


8.	EXIT String

If no exit string is entered into the configuration (as default)
GPFax will automatically send ATZ when 'Quit' is selected.  This is
to reset the modem back to the previously saved setting from NVRAM so
that 'normal' communications modes are restored.


9.	Thanks


We thank you for your support in purchasing our products and welcome 
any suggestions you may have for added features in future releases of 
GPFax.
