Compatibility issues with other software

1.  Windows for Workgroups 3.11

    If you have upgraded from a previous version of Zetafax and are 
    running Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, you may experience 
    timeout problems when sending faxes.  This is due to a compatibilty 
    problem with early versions of the Windows communications port 
    driver COMM.DRV.  Ensure that the line 

	IgnoreCTS: YES

    is present in the [FCLASS-n] paragraph of the Zetafax system 
    configuration file SETUP.INI, located in the zfax\SYSTEM\Z-DB 
    directory. 
    

2.  WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows can corrupt WIN.INI file

    WordPerfect for Windows version 5.1 does not handle printing to a
    file correctly when a long path name is given in the WIN.INI file.
    This is the method used when printing to the Zetafax printer when
    not installed with the default setting of storing print spool 
    files in the Windows directory.

    If the path name is too long then WordPerfect does not print the 
    file and can also corrupt the WIN.INI file.  If you are having 
    problems printing from WordPerfect to the Zetafax printer then you 
    should run the WKSETUP program and change the spool directory using 
    the Advanced Settings option to either the Windows directory, or
    to the root directory on the PC's local disk.

    WordPerfect 5.2 and 6.0 have this problem corrected.


3.  Changing paper size in Word for Windows 2.0

    Word for Windows version 2.0 does not notify printers of the paper
    size which it wishes to use.  Therefore when using Word with the
    Zetafax printer you should ensure that the paper size configured
    in printer setup agrees with Word's page setup size.

    Word 6.0 has this problem corrected.


4.  Use with Sun PC NFS

    PC NFS uses a special character in file names to identify Unix
    files with names longer than the standard DOS 8+3 format.
    By default this is the tilda character '~'.  If you create a
    file on a PC whose name contains this character, then do a
    DIR, the file has a different name (eg "~TEST000.TMP" gets
    stored as "~TEST~RA.TMP").

    Zetafax uses file names which contain tilda characters, and
    therefore does not work correctly when PC NFS changes the
    file names in this manner.	You can correct the problem by
    telling NFS to use another character (eg '%').  This is done
    by modifying the line which loads PCNFS.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS
    file on each PC, adding a parameter "/C%" to the end - eg

	Device = C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /C%


5.  Background printing in Microsoft Word 6.0

    When you print to the Zetafax printer from an application
    Zetafax waits until printing has finished before displaying
    the addressing dialog box, in case the file being printed
    contains any automatic addressing commands.

    With most applications this means that the addressing dialog
    is displayed immediately the application's "Printing page nnn"
    message box is removed.  However Word 6.0 (and some other
    applications) performs printing in the background, giving
    just a small visual indication on the status bar to say that it
    is in progress.

    With Word 6.0, background printing to the Zetafax printer is
    now disabled.  If you install Word after installing Zetafax,
    you should run the Zetafax Workstation Setup program and
    choose the "update programs" option to make this change.


6.  Using automatic addressing commands with WordPerfect 5.1

    Faxes may be addressed automatically by including special
    commands in the text of the fax (eg "%%[FAX:1234]"), using one
    of the Zetafax fonts.  This is not currently supported under
    WordPerfect 5.1 (as it prints each character of the command
    individually).  This will be corrected in a future maintenance
    release - please contact Equisys for details.
