-\section{Introduction}
-This fax class is written to work with the following other classes or
-packages:
-
-\begin{tabular}{ll}
-{\tt artikel3.cls} &One of the dutch article styles.\\
-{\tt lastpage.sty} &A small package that lets you reference the last
-page.\\
-\end{tabular}
-
-It can however still work without these files. If the {\tt artikel3.cls}
-cannot be found the {\tt article.cls} will be loaded instead. If available
-{\tt lastpage.sty} will also be loaded. If you do not have {\tt
-lastpage.sty} you can set the fax page numbers by hand by using the
-\verb|\setcounter{faxpages}{..}| command.
-
-\section{Other files}
-The following files should be prepared by the user:
-
-\begin{tabular}{ll}
-{\tt from.fax} &containing your name etc.\\
-{\tt note.fax} &containing a note which you would like to add.\\
-\end{tabular}
-
-If you are using the {\tt dutch} class option you need:
-
-\begin{tabular}{ll}
-{\tt van.fax} &containing your name etc. (in dutch)\\
-{\tt nb.fax} &containing a note which you would like to add. (in dutch)\\
-\end{tabular}
-
-Of course this can easily be changed or added for any other language. Feel
-free to do so.
-
-\section{Options}
-The following class options are at your disposal:
-\begin{description}
-\item[dutch] Switches to dutch language and reads the files {\tt van.fax}
- and {\tt nb.fax} instead of the default {\tt from.fax} and {\tt note.fax}
-\item[note] Adds a note to your fax header. This note should be specified
- in the file {\tt note.fax} or if you have used the {\tt dutch} option
- {\tt nb.fax}
-\item[nosep] Omits the {\tt faxtopset} length variable which is currently
- set at {\tt 3ex} This white space separates your fax header from the rest
- of the text.
-\end{description}
-
-The fax is typeset in \verb|\sf| (sans serif) by default, because I felt
-that this would give the most legible results on a fax machine.
-
-\section{Commands}
-In the preamble of the fax document the following commands are available:
-\begin{description}
-\item[$\backslash$to] Specifies what you want in the `to' box. This should
- preferably be in the form of a {\tt tabular} environment. If omitted the
- box will stay empty.
-\begin{verbatim}
-\to{\begin{tabular}[t]{rl}
- to: &You\\
- address: &Your place\\
- tel: &Your number\\
- fax: &Whatever\\
- \end{tabular}}
-\end{verbatim}
-\item[$\backslash$from] Specifies what you want in the `from' box. This should
- preferably be in the form of a {\tt tabular} environment. If omitted the
- {\tt from.fax} file will be used.
-\begin{verbatim}
-\from{\begin{tabular}[t]{rl}
- from: &Me\\
- address: &My place\\
- tel: &My number\\
- fax: &Whatever\\
- \end{tabular}}
-\end{verbatim}
- If you want an empty `from' box use \verb|\from{}|.
-\item[$\backslash$mymsg] Normally the fax header begins with the message:
- {\sc Tele-Fax Message}. If you have specified the {\tt dutch} option the
- fax header will begin with: {\sc Fax Boodschap} If you want to start with
- your own header (or logo even) you can use the \verb|\mymsg| command like
- this:
- \begin{center}
- \vspace{1.5ex}
- \verb|\mymsg{{\Large\bsf Watch out! here comes a FAX!}}|
- \vspace{1.5ex}
- \end{center}
- If you want absolutely no fax top message just specify \verb|\mymsg{}|
- i.e. an empty command.
-\item[$\backslash$bsf] Switches to bold sans serif. i.e. \verb|{\bsf this is bold}|
-\item[$\backslash$slsf] Switches to slanted sans serif. i.e. \verb|{\slsf this is slant}|
-\end{description}
-
-\section{Suggestions}
-To make your faxes even more `beautiful' you could use the {\tt wasysym}
-package which provides a \verb|\phone| command. This can be used to get a
-cute little telephone icon in your `to' or `from' box. Like this:
-\begin{verbatim}
-\from{\begin{tabular}[t]{rl}
- from: &Me\\
- address: &My place\\
- \phone: &My number\\
- fax: &Whatever\\
- \end{tabular}}
-\end{verbatim}
-Don't forget to put \verb|\usepackage{wasysym}| in your preamble though.
-
-For my own convenience I have made a signature package. This provides a
-signature for my fax documents. Of course you need to get your signature
-scanned first and make the signature available in the form of a {\tt .pcx}
-file or {\tt .msp} file. If you want to know more about this compile and
-read the {\tt sigdoc.tex} file.
-
-\section{Conversion}
-Once you've successfully used the {\tt fax.cls} to make a fax document you
-have a choice.
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item Print it, feed it to the fax machine and send it. (trivial)
-\item Convert it to a fax-modem compatible file and send it.
-\end{itemize}
-
-These days lots of people have a fax-modem. To convert the {\tt .dvi} file
-you generated, to some kind of fax-modem compatible file you need a
-conversion program. Let me describe how I go about sending a fax.
-
-I am using em\TeX{} for {\tt DOS} to compile my {\tt .tex} documents. The
-latest em\TeX{} release, version [4a], has a {\tt fax.cnf} file and
-\verb|fax_base.fli| file which facilitate generating {\tt .dvi} files in fax
-resolution.
-
-I subsequently convert this fax {\tt .dvi} file to a {\tt .pcx} file, using
-the following batch file.
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-@echo off
-dvidrv dvidot pcx @fax.cnf /fl=-1 %1 %1.p?? %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
-\end{verbatim}
-
-This will generate a number of {\tt .pcx} files one for each page of the
-fax document. The {\tt .pcx} files are numbered {\tt myfax.p01, myfax.p02,
-myfax.p03} if your original {\tt myfax.dvi} has three pages.
-
-The last step is to convert these {\tt .p??} files to one single {\tt .fax}
-file. I have found the {\tt 2FAX} program by Hans Harder very useful.
-However there was a bug in this program. Herre de Jonge the co\-author of
-this {\tt fax.cls} and I have debugged the program and added some
-functionality. Actually, Herre did most of the work on debugging the {\tt
-2FAX} program while I did most of the work on the {\tt fax.cls}. We've
-modified version 1.62 of {\tt 2FAX} and called it version 1.62a. I will
-make this debugged version available for ftp as soon as possible. We've
-also added some functionality. You now can use wildcards at the {\tt 2FAX}
-command line. Like this: \verb|2fax indoc.p?? outdoc.fax /hr|
-
-At this stage you have a file which can be sent by the fax-modem. In the
-case of {\tt 2FAX} this file is in the {\tt ZFAX} format. I am using an
-unregistered version of {\tt BGFAX} to send (or receive) faxes. {\tt BGFAX}
-is written by B.J.Guillot and is a simple but solid command line driven fax
-program. It's primarily intended for use with people who operate a bulletin
-board but who also want to send or receive faxes. There are various other
-programs for {\tt DOS} that will also send {\tt ZFAX} files. I will
-probably send the debugged version of {\tt 2FAX} to B.J. Guillot's bulletin
-board soon so people can download or ftp it from there. At the moment I
-still have to write a readme file and make some minor changes. If you're in
-a hurry to get the debugged version of {\tt 2FAX}, mail me and I'll send it
-to you.
