OS: Hylafax & filePro vs. Vsifax

[Tom Aldridge]

Anyone out there using Hylafax instead of Vsifax for command line faxing
from within filePro processing tables?

I had been for years doing the following kind of thing using Vsifax. However
it's obvious that Vsifax converted to tiff format on the fly whereas Hylafax
does not.

dofax::di=@id{@rn:
::system noredraw "touch /appl/fpmerge/fpvsi"{di:
::system noredraw "chmod 777 /appl/fpmerge/fpvsi"{di:
::printer file "/appl/fpmerge/fpvsi"{di:
::form "faxscreen":
::79=mid(9,"2","6"); 78=mid(9,"6","14"):
::fn(11,*)=79{78          'fax number:
::system noredraw "/usr/vsifax3/bin/vfx -s -M $LOGNAME -m fail -n "<fn<"
/appl/fpmerge/fpvsi"{di:
::printer reset:
::system noredraw "rm /appl/fpmerge/fpvsi"{di:
::return:
::end:

Hylafax syntax:
::system noredraw "sendfax -n -d "<fn<" /appl/fpmerge/fpvsi"{di:

Thanks in advance for any help that might be offered.
