RainbowFAX(tm)
Lite Test Drive
Version 1.3
Copyright (C) 1993 TELIMAX SOFTWARE CORPORATION.
All rights reserved.
Congratulations. You have received an interesting and unique communica-
tions program that will change the way you work and play over the next 30
days. RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive is a fully functional shareware, not
a "crippleware." Upon registration, you will receive a registered version
of RainbowFAX Lite, which is functionally identical to this program.
RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive is a personal communications program
based on the innovative SoftFAX(tm) technology. It allows a computer
equipped with a standard modem to "fax" color pictures, quick notes,
and files to another personal computer in an easy to use manner
similar to a fax machine.
Note:
1. RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive works with virtually any Hayes
compatible modems. For some modems, you may need a correct
modem initialization string to operate properly. See the attached
manual to configure a non-standard modem yourself. Alternatively,
You may call our Technical Support BBS for a current list of
modems and initialization strings supported.
2. RainbowFAX is NOT designed to send to or receive from normal
(Group III) black & white fax machines.
----------------
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
----------------
To use RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive, you need:
MS-DOS based computer (XT, AT, 386 or 486)
512K bytes of conventional memory
Floppy drive
Hard disk with 1.5 MB of free space
Hayes-compatible modem (300 bps or greater)
Hercules, CGA, EGA, or VGA card and monitor
DOS version 3.0 or later
If you received RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive in floppy disk(s), you
may skip to the next section. The following material is for people
who downloaded RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive from bulletin boards.
If you downloaded RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive from a bulletin board
service, check to make sure that you have the following files
after unpacking the file you downloaded:
README.TXT -- the file you are now reading
RFAXD1.ZIP -- distribution disk #1 of RainbowFAX Lite
Test Drive in compressed form
RFAXD2.ZIP -- distribution disk #2 of RainbowFAX Lite
Test Drive in compressed form
Before you can install RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive on your hard
disk, you need to create the RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive
distribution disks as follows:
1. Format two floppy disks in your drive A. Label them
"disk #1" and "disk #2".
2. Put "disk #1" into drive A. Go to the directory
containing RFAXD1.ZIP and enter the following command:
PKUNZIP RFAXD1.ZIP A:
(If you do not have the PKUNZIP program, you can
download it from almost any BBS.)
3. Put "disk #2" into drive A. Go to the directory
containing RFAXD2.ZIP and enter the following command:
PKUNZIP RFAXD2.ZIP A:
Now you can use these two floppy disks to install RainbowFAX Lite
Test Drive on your hard disk. Keep these two disk for de-installation
or for installation on other computers.
-----------
QUICK START
-----------
In the following instructions, "[ENTER]" means pressing the "Enter"
or "Return" key of your keyboard.
1. Put distribution disk #1 into floppy drive A.
2. Change your current drive to drive A as follows:
A: [ENTER]
3. Run the installation program as follows:
INSTALL [ENTER]
4. Follow the instructions on the screen. If you are not sure of
the answer to any question, simply press the "Enter" or "Return"
key, and the program will choose an answer most suitable for
you. When you are asked for the permission to modify your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, please answer yes.
5. Reboot (turn off and on) your computer after the installation
process is completed. Make sure that you are in DOS after
rebooting. You should see a digital clock on the top right-
hand corner of your screen after rebooting.
6. Make sure that you have RFAX directory in your path. And,
type the following command:
RFAX [ENTER]
at DOS prompt and you will see the fax machine panel of
RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive within seconds.
7. If you have used a fax machine before, you can probably
use RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive immediately without reading
the manual. Alternatively, you may read section 3 of the
MANUAL.TXT file to get more familiar with RainbowFAX Lite
Test Drive before actually using it.
Note:
After installing RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive, it will
automatically pickup your calls whenever the phone rings. This
feature allows the program to receive data at any time. If this
is not what you want, you can tell RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive to
pickup phone calls only within a specific time period. The time
period in which RainbowFAX Lite Test Drive is allowed to pickup
phone calls is called the "reception window". You can set the
"Reception ON time" and "Reception OFF time" to any values that
suits you. Refer to section 4.6 of the manual for details.
