----> FWRDFAX V6.0 <-----
This program works with BGFAX,a popular program for receiving fax's
with a FAX/MODEM. When BGFAX receives a fax, it generates a FAXIN.LOG,
and exits with an errorlevel of 5 (I think).
Here is where FWRDFAX comes in:
============================================================================
FWRDFAX compairs the number of the calling fax ID string in the FAXIN.LOG
to numbers stored in a simple text file (see Generating a List of Numbers
below). FWRDFAX exits with the following errorlevels
1 A match was detected
2 A match wasn't detected
3 Program Error
This program was originally written to automaticly forward only business
fax's from the author's home to his business fax machine. Due to long
distance charges, it was desirable to only forward fax's known to be im-
portant. Fax's from unknown senders and "junk" fax's where not forwrded
but where moved to a special directory.
How do I configure it?
============================================================================
Simply run the enclosed CONFIG.EXE, here is what will happen.
A menu will come up with the following options:
1 Create a FWRDFAX configuration file
2 Edit an existing FWRDFAX configuration file
3 Quit
At this point you would select "1". After selecting "1", you will be
prompted as follows:
Enter your full name?
-> Enter your name as you wish it to be if registered <-
Enter your registration code?
-> A zero MUST be entered here if unreg. <-
Enter the full path and file name of your FAXIN.LOG?
-> Self Explainitory <-
Enter the full path and file name of NOFORWARD number list?
-> See the Generating a List of Numbers below <-
Enter the full path and file name of the FWRDFAX log?
-> Location (usually the same directory as FWRDFAX) and name of log file <-
Edit your batch file that calls BGFAX Program .
(EXAMPLE OF MY BATCH FILE) Running in rear end mode.
IF ERRORLEVEL 250 GOTO FAX
:FAX
CD\BGFAX
BGFAX /FAST C:\BGFAX 1 Q /NF
CD\FWRDFAX
FWRDFAX6
GOTO START
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your using BGFAX In front end mode you may use this in your batch file,
I Have not tried this but it should work.Any feed back on this would help.
IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO FAXIN
:FAXIN
CD\FWRDFAX
FWRDFAX6.EXE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generating a List of Numbers
============================================================================
How do I generate the required list of numbers?
Use a text editor (MS Dos's editor will work fine) and enter one phone number
on a line EXACTLY as it appears in BGFAX's FAXIN.LOG. At the end of the file
enter "EOF" on a line by itself. There must not be any blank lines between
numbers or between numbers and the "EOF". The "EOF" should be enterd minus
the quotes ie. EOF
EXAMPLE of the file I use that contains the info on numbers not to Forward
FAX's to...( NOSEND.CTL ) is the name of my file.
812 523 6615 < This file contains >
812 555 5555 < phone numbers not to be resent >
555 555 5555
EOF <<<< This EOF marker must be on the last line >>>>>>>>
