Gold-Fax for Windows V4.1 Release Information / Read Me File
Thank you for purchasing Gold-Fax for Windows.
This file includes additional information and corrections
that became available after the Gold-Fax for Windows manuals were
printed.
===============================================================================
Compressed Installation files
The files that end with a _ on the installation disk are compressed. They can
be uncompressed manually using the Extract program on the installation disk.
Enter the following:
Extract /U[:destination] file
For example,
Extract /U:C:\test goldfax.ex_
===============================================================================
Pathworks Client V5.0 Restrictions (VMS Server only)
Currently, Pathworks Client V5.0 does not support accessing an
indexted file on the VAX through a file service. The current workaround
is to convert the file to a flat file format as decribed in the
"Reducing System Phonebook Delay on the PC" section below.
===============================================================================
Reducing System Phonebook Delay on the PC (VMS Server Only)
Gold-Fax for Windows users may experience a delay when accessing a
Gold-Fax System Phonebook from the PC. The delay varies depending on
the size of the phonebook and the speed of the PC attempting to read
it, and is due to a limitation of PATHWORKS' ability to open an
indexed file on the VAX.
The following workaround will allow users to convert a Gold-Fax/VMS
System Phonebook file to a sequential file format, allowing quicker
access via PATHWORKS. One drawback to the workaround, however, is
that the converted phonebook file will not be accessible from
Gold-Fax/VMS. It will therefore be necessary to have two separate
phonebooks -- one that is maintained from Gold-Fax/VMS, and another
that has been converted for PC use.
To convert a system phonebook, login to a VMS account and type the following,
replacing vmsphonebook.fnd with the VMS phonebook file name, and replacing
pcphonebook.fnd with the desired name of the converted phonebook file:
$ CONVERT/FDL=GOLDFAX$:PHONEBK_CVT.FDL vmsphonebook.fnd pcphonebook.fnd
You may wish to add this to your GOLDFAX_CLEANUP command procedure to
automatically convert the system phonebook on a regular basis. Refer
to the Gold-Fax/VMS Installation and Manager's Guide for further
information on the CLEANUP procedure.
