- Overview
-
- The Developers Kit will allow you to automate the process of
- generating and sending large amounts of faxes from a database
- application. This will enable you to get the full benefit of
- both your database and the fax software without the need to keep
- information in both places. There are several routines provided
- to help you do this. A database program could be written to
- generate several faxes, one to each person in the database, and
- fax each of them a custom generated letter, all automatically
- with no user interaction.
-
- The STF Developers' Kit has three complete sets of externals,
- a C interface file, and an external library that you can call from
- Think C, MPW C, or MPW Pascal. The three external formats currently
- supported by STF are OMNIS, 4D, HyperCard, and FoxPro. HyperCard
- XCMDs are usable in many other databases and even from programming
- languages. With these three combinations, you have all the flexibility
- you need to add facsimile to your custom applications.
-
- This is the first release of the Developers Kit for FaxSTF 3.0. It
- has been tested in house, but has not been tested in the real world.
- Please report any bugs you may find.
