Razzak Memon Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 6:00 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Announcing R:Fax for R:BASE 7.x To R:BASE Community: When generating R:BASE 7.x reports or invoices as PDF, HTML, XHTML, XLS, RTF, etc., you may want the ability to send those outputs via Fax, because the end-user does not have Internet access or does not know how to open the attached PDF document. Now you can do both with (drum roll please) R:Fax. It is my pleasure to announce R:Fax, a next generation add-on tool to send your R:BASE 7.x reports and more, to any Fax Machine using the traditional phone line connected to your PC. R:Fax will use the R:BASE 7.x supported PLUGIN command to manage the entire process, including the file creation, image format, custom cover page, and other necessary information to send your report as a fax. You might ask, "Why do I need R:Fax when I have the MS Fax printer device comes with my Windows 2000/XP operating system?" Well, R:Fax allows you to by-pass that step and run R:Fax Your Way by managing everything based on your R:BASE database, including the ability to pass the following as variable parameters: . Fax Number . Fax File and Name (created by R:BASE 7.x) . Fax Cover File Name (created by R:BASE 7.x) . Total Pages . Remote ID . Resolution . and much more ... Also, you'll be able to create a complete activity log using the programming knowledge of R:BASE. You may want to save all fax transactions and associated images, etc., in your R:BASE database, as well. Along with R:BASE 7.5, R:Themes http://www.rbase.com/rbg75, R:Java http://www.r-java.com and more, R:Fax is scheduled to be unveiled at the Fall 2004 R:BASE Developers' Conference in October http://www.rbase.com/conference. Stay tuned for more ... Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
