FaxWorks Auto Receive Application (Version 1.1).

You may not sell this software to any end-user! You may however,

The source code to the AUTOREC.EXE file is available for $5.00 (U.S.)
contact the author at the address given below.
This application program was created to fix a problem with the
FaxWorks for OS/2 application distributed with the OS/2 Warp
Bonus PAK. The copy of FaxWorks distributed states in the documentation
that it can be set-up to automatically receive incomming fax transmissions
using th "-r" parameter. I however, had no luck getting it to automatically
receive!
Thus this work around!
For the AUTOREC.EXE program to operate correctly, the FaxWorks program
must be running before launching the AUTOREC.EXE program.
I place the FaxWorks in my Startup folder, along with the AUTOREC.EXE
file. When OS/2 Warp starts up FaxWorks is launched then the AUTOREC.EXE
file is launched. I am then able to autoreceive fax transmissions. When the
power goes out, and I am away, fax reception is enabled automatically when
power is restored and the system starts back up.
IMPORTANT!!! WHATS NEW!
Version 1.1 now reads the keystrokes it sends to the FaxWorks window from
the AUTOREC.DAT file (The location of this file must be specified in an OS2Environment
variable named AUTOREC). The simplest way to do this is to:
1. Copy the AUTOREC.DAT file to a directory (for example; C:\).
2. Place a line specifying the location of the AUTOREC.DAT file in your CONFIG.SYS
file. (for the example above; SET AUTOREC=C:\AUTOREC.DAT).
If the AUTOREC.DAT file is not found then the standard US keystrokes:
{Alt}F
R
A
are sent as in version 1.0 of the AUTOREC.EXE program.
The AUTOREC.DAT file is an ASCII file which you can edit. It contains the list of
keystrokes required to place the FaxWorks program in autoreceive mode. This extra
file defining the keystrokes was made for international purposes. An individual from
Germany said the first release of AUTOREC.EXE did not work with the German version
of FaxWorks (different menu keystroke options?). The three required keystrokes are
read from the AUTOREC.DAT file and passed to FaxWorks during startup.
AUTOREC.EXE now minimizes the FaxWorks window when it is finished placing it in
autoreceive mode.
The AUTOREC.EXE file was created using Watcom's VX-REXX development environment.
It requires the VROBJ.DLL (version 2.1a) which is available in a separate file (Let me know
if you have problems finding the VROBJ.DLL (version 2.1a) file.
