		 A Brief Summary of GPFax for the Amiga 
		---------------------------------------
GPFax has been written to the TR 29 class 2 draft specifications
for FAX modems. Supported modems include the Supra, Maestro,
Interlink and many others.  (Generally any modem using Rockwell or
XR chipsets)

GPFax is a full send and receive FAX package providing the user with
more options than available on most fax machines.

The software incorporates:

      * GPFax runs on any Amiga, PAL or NTSC, under any Amiga OS from 1.3 or
	later including WB2.xx.  1Mb required and hard disk drive strongly
	preferred. Operates with a full intuition interface either fully mouse
	and/or keyboard driven requiring NO external libraries or other
	software.

      * Automatic or manual reception of faxes with time, date and sender ID
	saving.  A full transaction log is kept which allows easy access to
	sent or received faxes and can be printed from within the software.

      * Multiple faxes may be sent to multiple numbers with auto generation
	of individual cover pages and fax header stamps.  Faxes may be sent
	immediately or scheduled for unattended transmission at a later time.

      * Received faxes can be viewed as a 1:1 image, or scaled 1:2, 1:4 or
	inverted for full width viewing. Faxes may be printed on standard
	Amiga printer or saved as black and white IFF images.

      * Receive 'security' is available on incoming faxes to prevent Junk
	fax.

      * A full phonebook system is included.  Single, multiple and group
	dialling are supported.

      * User defined cover page information is stored with every phone
	number entry for automatic generation of fax header sheets. Has the
	ability to include any IFF image as part of the header for company
	logo etc. Allows inclusion of scanned or IFF signature files.
	Transmission of Cover page is optional.

      * Capability exists to send faxes in FINE or STANDARD mode and
	received faxes may be re-transmitted as received.  Both resolution
	faxes are able to be printed on a standard amiga printer.

      * A printer driver is supplied with the software and is installed as
	the  default printer if requested.  All printing via the standard
	Amiga printer  device will be converted and saved as a G3 fax, ready
	for transmission.  For example, this allows direct creation of faxes
	from programs such as  Deluxe Paint (standard graphics printing),
	PPage & PageStream (desktop  publishing) and from Prowrite and
	WordPerfect etc (text to PRT:)

      * Any TEXT file or IFF image can be converted to Group 3 fax image
	format either prior to or during sending.  A limited set of imbedded
	commands are  available with text->fax conversion. These allow
	highlighting with bold,  italic, underlined or reversed text and page
	breaks, plus inclusion of  IFF graphic images within the created fax
	page.

      * Full AREXX support with more than 25 commands allowing complete
	remote  control of fax functions.

      * Auto-detection between FAX and DATA connections.  Ability to
	interface  with BBS software such as STAR-NET etc to provide a fax
	server  capability for dial-in users

      * Faxes are created in the standard CBM IFF FAX form with proprietary
	extensions. (The format is freely available)

      * Under WB2.04, an application icon can be switched on which enables
	the  user to drop any type of icon onto it and the software will take
	the  appropriate action.

      * The program can be iconified full functional background operation.


 Recommended retail price for the software is currently $AUS159.00
