dvi-fax

A brief instruction how to make "dvips" generate high-quality
204x196 dpi fonts for fax files (far better output quality
than with re-scaled 300 dpi fonts).

lp-fax

A printer driver for SCO Unix (and ODT), to send faxes with 
"lp -dfax -oto=<fax-number>" from within any application

Used as "/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/fax" script.

faxin.c

compile, link with logfile.o, faxlib.o, faxrec.o and you have a standalone
fax receiver that could be called upon receipt of "+FCON" from any getty
or login program.
Options: "-x <debug>", "-d <receive_to_directory>"

Make: just go to the mgetty directory, call "make contrib-all"

scrts.c

A small tool for linux (only), to set the CRTSCTS hardware handshake
flag. Compile it with "cc -o scrts scrts.c", use it with "scrts <device>"

It will (if possible) open the port in non-blocking mode (you need this
if "stty crtscts </dev/ttyS..." hangs), and set the CRTSCTS flag. If
something goes wrong, it will print an error message.

g3toxwd.c

From:	Chel van Gennip <chel@bazis.nl>

A small program to convert G3 input to X11 screen dumps (xwd) - a lot
faster than g3tobpm |pbmtoxwd

g3tolj.c

From:	Chel van Gennip <chel@bazis.nl>

A small program to convert G3 input to HP laserjet output

(I did not include it in this distribution - space considerations - but
I can mail it to you if you need it)

Subject: Re: FAX software to run under SCO ????

To improve the speed of handling faxes I made a simple pbmscale program to
scale portable bitmaps without converting them to graymaps. I'll include the
source in this mail. To use it with pbmplus you only need some trivial
changes in pbmmerge.c an Makefile.

Typical usage:

cat faxn... |g3topbm|pbmscale -scale 0.35 -aspect 2.0| pnmtoxdm |xdum

or

cat faxn... |g3topbm|pbmscale -scale 1.35 -aspect 2.0| pbmtolj | lp -d hpdeskjet

>Do you have some explantation of all the switches?

pbmscale [-scale N] [-aspect N] [-stretch] [pbmfile]";
   -scale N Scale x and y by factor N, eg. -scale 1.35
   -aspect N, N is multiplier for the y scale factor eg. -aspect 1.9
   -stretch equivalent with -aspect 2.0
   So the resulting bitmap is <scale>*x by <scale>*<aspect>*y dots.

Chel
