anyone else having trouble with kdb patches?

2002-12-10 Thread sean finney
hey all,

so the kernel-patch-kdb package seems somewhat broken, at least on
my system.  make-kpkg bails out when applying a patch to init/main.c,
unable to handle changes caused by the most recent changes to the
2.4.18-5 stable (as well as 2.4.19-5 testing) kernel packages, which
from their apt source diff's appear to have changes in the same file.
anyone else patching in kdb lately?

i'll look some more into this (as i need kdb for a project that
i'm working on), and if i can verify that this is the problem i'll
try to make a patch for the patch...

恒荣国际货运有限公司 您好,纵横科技的传

2002-12-10 Thread jinza1109
Title: new page 1






恒荣国际货运有限公司 您好: 

   纵横科技是一家网络软件和系统开发商,秉承着"网络互动无限"的信念,以先进过硬的技术实力和孜孜不倦的做事作风,为从事国际货运企业提供开放的,安全的,稳定的,高效的电子化解决方案。
  纵横科技iworks-fax系统能处理国际货运企业普遍存在的大量传真往来,完全通过b/s结构的前台处理系统,支持在线收发大批量传真,传真的智能转发,传真订单的审批与回复,传真文档的智能管理、支持签章与个人签名,支持多线路的传真处理功能。是国际货运企业最理想的传真系统解决方案。解决国际货运企业普遍存在的传真处理难题。结合纵横科技iworks-oa(办公自动化)及其它信息化系统(如oa、crm、hrm、erp等信息化系统),将为贵公司打造智能化的信息化企业。欢迎来电咨询。
   
iworks-fax功能介绍
(一)	 智能转发传真 

    
系统可以实时同时监听各电话线路上的传真,如果传真请求到来,系统可以根据客户拨打的号码智能分类,转发到相应的负责人员下。在以前,如果客户发传真到公司(假设本公司的传真号码是1234-5678),客户拨(1234-5678)来发送传真,然后公司员工定时到传真机收取传真,造成了很大的不便。但是一旦安装和使用了系统,只要客户拨相应的后缀号码,传真就会自动转送到相应的负责员工上。例如,如果客户拨打"1234-5678"来发送传真,当接通了电话,不需要任何人声提示按键某一个传真信箱号码,例如是"123",系统将会找出与123号码相对应的用户,智能转发到该用户手中,用户只要在自己电脑即可在线收取到转发给自己的传真,大大提高了效率和保密性,同时也避免了大量的纸张浪费。系统对未能成功转发的传真会智能转入"传真大厅",让用户自行人工选择性转发和查看。

(二)	 在线查看 
系统可以让用户在电脑上面即可在线查看收取的传真,不需要打印纸张,大大节省成本。

(三)	 在线搜索 
用户可以根据对方号码,收取时间搜索传真,进行快捷的管理。

(四)	 在线发送 
用户可以直接在电脑上面发送传真,而不需要通过打印和传真机来发送传真,节省纸张成本。传真可以支持任何文档格式,用户可以将各种文字,图象,office文档和其他文件格式转换成传真发送给客户。
(五)	 日志支持 
用户的每一项操作都载入日志,管理员可以查看到用户发送传真的次数,发送到什么地方,在什么时候发送等等信息。

(六)	 来电显示支持 
系统支持对方来电号码显示功能,可以将电话模拟信号里面进行解码析取对方号码并记录下来。

(七)	 签名档支持 
系统支持签名档,可以把用户的签名档附加到需要发送的电子传真上并发送出去。

(八)	 部门电子签章支持 
系统支持部门电子印章,可以把部门的的电子印章"附印"到需要发送的电子传真上并发送出去。
(九)	 通讯录支持 
系统支持通讯录,用户可以将对方的传真号码保存到通讯录里。

(十)	 传真审批支持 
传真档案支持企业审批流程,用户可以通过工作流模块对传真进行流程审批,根据已经定义好的工作流进行一级一级审批,然后归档或者"部门盖章"发送传真给客户。"部门盖章"类似于用户的手写签名,系统可以将部门的章印"付印"到传真档案进行发送。
(十一)	 存档支持 
系统可以对所接受的传真档案可以进行存档,档案的管理支持无限层的文件夹树型管理。

(十二)	强大的树型权限过滤 
传真文档和文件夹受强大的树型权限过滤,用户可以将某一个文件夹里的所有文档和自文件夹拒绝或者允许某个部门或者某个小组或者某个用户享有读或者写的权限。权限的定义友好和灵活。

(十三)	报警支持 
当用户接收到传真之后,系统可以通过立刻接收即时信息,弹出提示窗口通知用户,报警功能还支持收集短信报警接口,系统可以将接收传真的报警信息通过手机短信发送到用户去。

iworks-fax应用优势
纵横科技的智能传真解决方案和同类产品比较有着很多卓越的优势:

(一)	功能强大 
系统除了支持简单的收发传真功能以外,还同时支持手写签名,传真审批,即时报警功能和传真转发信箱功能,同时发送传真可以支持任何文档格式,包括文字,图片,office文档,cad图纸等等。由于技术门槛比较高,同类产品很少同时支持这些强大的功能。


(二)	强大的安全机制 
传真档案使用了纵横科技自主开发的x-tree树型权限元件,能够进行灵活的,完善的权限过滤。任何人都不可以越过权限查看相关的传真档案。

(三)	前瞻的i-works平台优势 
传真管理系统和i-works平台以及其他系统(可结合纵横科技现有的oa、crm、hrm、erp等系统)紧密集成一起,可以无缝和别的软件系统结合起来。例如可以和电子邮件系统结合起来进行"电子邮件-传真"功能。i-works平台使传真方案具有强大的扩展性能和兼容性能。关于i-works平台,请访问 http://www.chinavh.com 

(四)	强大的负载能力 
对于一些传真业务异常繁重的企业,系统支持多电话线智能并行收发。系统通过智能侦听技术利用空闲的电话线路进行收发。另外,系统完全支持分部运算,可以将高负荷的传真数据量拓展给多台服务器进行并行处理。

(五)	完全支持浏览器访问 
目前很多同类产品的客户端是基于c/s架构,即每台客户需要安装一个客户端软件才可以进行使用。本系统完全支持浏览器访问,用户只要通过windows里的自带浏览器即可以访问到传真系统。

Don't bother with the 1.4 branch.  Go for 2.0.

I did a preliminary package of 2.0 here, there weren't any problems
that I recall.

Don't make the mistake the recent NMU'er made: be sure to include more
recent config.guess and config.sub files, so the package compiles on
'unusual' arches (e.g. mips).

Keep me posted, but feel free to NMU if you like.

What would be even cooler is to have a trawl with balsa's bug list ;)
Only people with copious 'spare' time need apply!

Intent to NMU: grep

2002-12-10 Thread H. S. Teoh
Package: grep
Severity: wishlist

Hi Robert,

I've applied some of the patches in BTS filed against grep, and have
prepared an NMU which fixes the following bugs: #158134, #127438, #93193,
#142206, #172524, #45943, #156479. The complete patch for the NMU is
attached with this mail. 

Since you appear to be busy with other things, if I don't hear otherwise
from you within 2 weeks' time, I'll go ahead and upload the NMU. If you
have any objections, please let me know. Thanks!

That's irrelevant.

The *implementation* of the standard is not copying, even if you had
to read the standard to figure out how to do it.  Indeed, a functional
equivalence rule is also nice here: I can write a new program to
implement *your* interface, even if I had to read your program to
figure out what the interface is.  (This is true because "interface
copyright" has died flaming death.)

Yes, this is true.  However, it does not follow that an
*implementation* of a standard is non-free merely because the
standards document is not.  Generally speaking, there is no
relationship here at all.

I think fix_maintainer in utils.py should do something to compensate

Actually I thought I was doing quite a good job learning to use
this "difficult"[1] piece of software.

I have got my own mostly working archive for instance.

Yes, I made a mistake with the TrackingServer option, but considering
this option is documented deep down inside docs/README.config and
katie.py, mistakes are easy (IMHO) to make, even if you think mistakes
are inexcusable.

However, it seems that you are not interested in supporting me, and
prefer to insult me instead, so unless this changes I will have to
continue on the not-so-popular option of duplicating the work. The other
options in README do not support package pools.

(either by forking DAK or by continuing work on my darchbuilder program
- I haven't decided which yet; DAK has the advantage that a number of
  checks are already done, and removing old packages is done in a
  bug-free manner; darchbuilder has the advantage that it is my code, I
  understand it; and that there aren't going to be any "hidden"[1] traps).

Unless anything changes this will be my last E-Mail on the subject.

Notes:

That's missing, not misconfigured.  But I'll fix that.

rhona.  Yes, again, this is because you chose to edit katie.conf
rather than start from scratch or a less specialised conf file (like
security) and you left Accepted Autobuilding.  Like the other things
it defaults to off unless explicity configured in the config file.

Because damn it, it's annoying.  You're insulting about katie when you
clearly haven't looked at nearly enough to make an informed judgement
of it.  You whine about lack of documentation when you clearly haven't
looked at what there is.  You don't bother to check anything or try to
figure anything out for yourself even when you easily could.  And then
you post as if you know what you're talking about - or at least have
tried the best you could to know what you talking about - which lends
undeserved credence to your bogus statements about katie.

Dinstall::OverrideMaintainer - see katie.conf.security.

No because in the Debian world (which includes queue daemons and

is.  It'd be trivial to add if there was such a way in your
environment.

I find it strange that you take some comments (like the above) at more
than there face value, yet can't even parse seemingly
easier-to-understand comments like the one in cron.weekly.

There is packaging; it produces a deb, but it's not perfect and so
there's a disclaimer in there.  And sorry but I still think you didn't

Oracle's install is scriptable (that is, you don't have to use the
GUI).  Perhaps an enterprising developer could run the user through
some debconf questions (or not) and then setup an install script that
then runs the oracle installer in silent mode.

Possible to do, but probably quite painful...

Huh?  I don't think you mean melanie, she doesn't delete files.

You seem to be making a fundamental mistake: cron.daily, katie.conf,
apt.conf etc. are all not the best files to start from, they're
ftp-master's real config file.  I know that's non-intuitive but that's
just how it is always been hysterically.  Don't start from them and

WTH are you talking about?  required for what?  cron.hourly simply
runs julia which syncs postgresql ideas of users and the systems which
is useful if you're using postgresql's 'peer sameuser' (or whatever
it's called these days) access control on a multi-user system.  If
you're not, then it's not "required".

BXA Notification defaults to off if it's not mentioned for this very

I consider this a really ugly hack:

if Cnf.get("Dinstall::TrackingServer") and 
changes["architecture"].has_key("source"):
  Subst["__ANNOUNCE_LIST_ADDRESS__"] = Subst["__ANNOUNCE_LIST_ADDRESS__"] + 
"\nBcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" % (changes["source"], 
Cnf["Dinstall::TrackingServer"]);

I thought __ANNOUNCE_LIST_ADDRESS__ would expand only to the
address of the configured mailing list, but it also expands to include
the tracking server too.

I am guessing that the maintainer got my message via the tracking
server (I hope this didn't mess anything up...).

So add to my previous list: remove the Dinstall::TrackingServer config
setting from katie.conf!

I think that will fix the problem.

I have got it going!

It is pretty straight forward once you get to know what all these
names do. Even now though I still forget the correct name for the
correct purpose.


What I did:

- Edit katie.conf to suit. Make sure the path to the templates directory
  is correct.

- Edit vars.

- Edit apt.conf so it has the same information as kate.conf. If there
  are areas in apt.conf but not in katie.conf, you will get errors
  when generating index files.

  One day in the future I would like to see vars and apt.conf
  autogenereted from katie.conf; I am not sure if this is
  possible or not.

- Change paths to config files in utils.py.

- Configure postgresql to allow access and ability to create database.

- psql -f init_pool.sql template1

- alyson imports katie.conf into database.

- rose creates initial directories (actually some where missing; I can't
  remember which onces were missing and which ones were misconfigured
  though now).

- cron.unchecked checks files in queue/unchecked and moves them to
  queue/new or queue/accepted.

- To manually accept queue/new or queue/byhand files, cd to that
  directory, and type "lisa *.changes".

- Anything else I forgot to include.

- melanie marks packages for deletion. This doesn't happen straight
  away, by default there is a delay (in katie.conf) before files are
  actually removed.

  (melanie complains that it cannot delete the files from buildd/*,
  but I can't see why, I deleted the same files mentioned manually
  without any problems).

- look at database with pgaccess often to try and find out what is
  happening.


These files need customization:

- cron.daily installs accepted files and rebuilds the database. (do not
  use udpate-* for private archives). Check apt-ftparchive doesn't
  produce any errors, this might be because you have areas defined in
  apt.conf but not in katie.conf.

- cron.buildd is for buildd, I don't know where to get wanna-build from
  so I don't use it.

- cron.hourly doesn't appear to be required.

- cron.weekly might be important, but I don't understand what it does.

- cron.monthly doesn't appear to be required.

- mkmaintainers adds NON-US maintainers and base maintainers.


Potentially dangerous features:

- turn off BXA notifications in katie.conf. Or change the template.

- turn off auto closing bugs in katie.conf. Or at least change
  the template.

- when new package is accepted it will inform uploader and package
  maintainer; the maintainer might confuse this E-Mail as an
  unauthorised upload to the Debian archive. I am not sure what the best
  solution is here.

- some templates in templates/* have E-Mail addresses hardcoded (From
  and To E-Mail addresses).

- cron.* have E-Mail addresses hardcoded.


Features I really dislike:

- cron.daily has:

  kelly -pa *.changes | tee REPORT | \ mail -s "Install for $(date +%D)"
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  This comes up with lots of errors if *.changes doesn't exist.

- No way to override component eg. (main,contrib,non-free) without
  changing source; I have a patch that will let you override it in lisa.
  I have also patched/hacked jennifer to use existing overide component
  if one already exists.

  This patch has the side effect that you can only have one version
  of a package in all components combined; I don't see this as being
  a problem.

  See patch attached. It seems to work fine, but I haven't tested
  it since replacing several tabs with spaces...

  It might be better if the changes to jennifer were made optional
  by a config switch.

  lisa already has the ability to specify the component in the section,
  but this didn't seem to be used.

- if you don't have testing, some of the scripts will fail. Testing is
  hardcoded and required.

- *NO* E-Mail addresses should get hardcoded in non-config files
  anywhere!

- cron.daily is pretty verbose.

- cron.daily generates override.potato.all3 and override.sid.all3, but I
  can't see what use these files are.


What I don't like but can't really be fixed:

- GPG key for signing Release files can't be password protected, it
  needs to work in a Cron job.


What I do like:

- good checking of packages, eg. to ensure that full source code could
  be found. Then again a large number of my packages failed to install
  because I forgot to use -sa when compiling :-(.

Still to learn:

- How to move packages to stable.

- How to add/remove distributions/components. It appears that you must

about 48 or more scripts are encoded.

ASCII was frozen.

That leaves 47! ways to order the scripts (and they did not choose
alphabetic by english name).

Latin alone has 840 "code points" (characters).  Even given that there
is a traditional ordering in the portions of this, there are other big
spans that have no natural order.  Bunch more choices made here.

Then, each character has a potential of 22 binary "properties", (not 
derived from UnicodeData.txt, but in a separate file PropList.txt), and 
14 "fields", most of which have 20 to 256 or more options.

I would venture to guess that even with a perfect oracle, it would be
essentially imposible to reverse engineer the Unicode data files, much
less the ancillary algorithms.  That is, a 32 bit search space with at
least 36 properties to be discovered per data point is whopping big.

I'm curious as to whether the Java classes as distributed with the Sun
JRE would work with one of the other JREs out there.  Not that it would
help the status of OpenOffice at all, but it would lend a bit of
credence to the "write-once, run-anywhere" claims.

The correct question, I think, is "Can a standards _document_ be DFSG
free?" I think it could be, but most probably are not; a standards
document is usually copyrighted by the organization that governs the
standard, and in the absence of an explicit grant of the right to make
derivative works, such a document would not be DFSG free (to the best of
my understanding).

The GPLd compilers are very good, and very complete, jikes for instance. 
However without the class libraries they are fairly useless, and currently 
there is no suitable free implementation. GNU CLasspath and kaffe have 
extensive, but incomplete implementations. There is currently some major 
effort, with some guys from redhat i believe, to get openoffice buildable 
with kaffe (i cant remember if its anything, or specifically kaffe).

Run time dependencies are fine for debian policy, so we are almost there, just 
got to get those build dependencies fixed :)

Hope this fills in the details for you.

First off, the inclusion of contrib is not now the default and has no
business being the default because it is NOT part of Debian.

Secondly, since OpenOffice seems to be GPL'd, I am wondering why it is in
contrib instead of main.

Finally, I think it imprudent to use a single package as a test for whether
or not to include contrib on a CD, FTP site, or *anything* for that matter. 
The inclusion of contrib on CDs is a direct break with the conventions we
have established in our existing Social Contract and our way of making that
work, and if anything, highlights the need to excise these grafted-on pieces
of software from our archive.

If an autobuilder finds a package with alternative build-dependencies,

Bug#172539: lynx: Should have SHOW_CURSOR:TRUE by default

2002-12-10 Thread Mario Lang
Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.4-2
Severity: wishlist

Quoting from /etc/lynx.cfg:

# SHOW_CURSOR controls whether or not the cursor is hidden or appears
# over the current link in documents or the current option in popups.
# Showing the cursor is handy if you are a sighted user with a poor
# terminal that can't do bold and reverse video at the same time or
# at all.  It also can be useful to blind users, as an alternative
# or supplement to setting LINKS_AND_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED or
# LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED.

This "hiding" of the cursor does not only have a visual effect, it also
has the effect that the currently highlighted item (link, popup menu item)
is only highlighted by setting the color attributes of the partiuclar text.
The cursor is usually left in the last line somewhere around the last column.
This kind of highlighting is hard to support for braille display and speech
based screen readers.  Usually, those screen readers use the position
of the cursor to indicate to the user what is currently "highlighted".

Since lynx is one of the most popular web browsers for blind users,
I think we should turn this option on by default.

Build-depend on the library that your package uses directly.  Do not attempt
to second-guess the library package's maintainer about the dependencies of
that library; they are specified by the package.  In this case, you should
build-depend on libc-client2002, and not the Kerberos or SSL libraries

Apply Boolean algebra to that and you get:

  Build-Depends: libc-client2002-dev | libc-client-ssl2001-dev, libssl-dev | 
libc-client-ssl2001-dev, libkrb5-dev | libc-client-ssl2001-dev

A bit messy, but it should work.

Note that buildds don't understand |, but buildds won't be building the
newer version on woody anyway. Just remember to put the version needed
for sid first in each alternative.

The buildds just do 'apt-get install libc-client2002-dev', so
dependencies of build-dependencies are processed (but not
build-dependencies of build-dependencies). That should reduce the above
to either:

  Build-Depends: libc-client2002-dev | libc-client-ssl2001-dev

... or:

  Build-Depends: libc-client2002-dev | libc-client-ssl2001-dev, libkrb5-dev | 
libc-client-ssl2001-dev

(If libc-client2002-dev needs libkrb5-dev, shouldn't it depend on it? Or
is it only for certain specialized cases?)

Mailsync depends on libc-client which can be compiled one way or another

It happens that libc-client in woody did not include kerberos but
libc-client in sid does.

Is there a way to specify this in the build dependecies? Right know I have

wouldn't mind if it could build on both. Is something like this possible:

Build-Depends: libc-client-ssl2001-dev |

OTOH - couldn't the build system figure that out for itself - that is

and make sure it's installed before building the package?

 Thanks to Craig Saunders, Russell Coker, and Bernd Eckenfels for
helpful comments.

 The problem turns out not to be related to XFS or SMP.  It was a
configuration error caused by the dictdconfig script.  All dictionaries
had been removed from the submitter's system, without his being aware
of it.  If dictdconfig doesn't find any installed dictionaries, it
creates a configuration item for a dummy dictionary in /dev/null.
This was a misguided attempt to prevent dictd from failing to start if
no dictionaries are installed.  This will be fixed.

 Especial thanks to Craig for installing dictd on a machine with a
2.4.19 kernel with XFS and SMP for testing.  This can be removed
whenever you like.

Regards,

Bob

Ok, good.  Hm, I wonder if we should extend the format of the ITP to
have something like:

Source: geramik
Binaries: gtk-engines-geramik, gtk2-engines-geramik, geramik-data

Right now there is some ambiguity...I guess it doesn't usually matter a
whole lot though.

Amazingly enough, this wouldn't catch them all, because some packages
include those files in .orig.tar.gz as well.

I believe, the standard approach for LDAP is to have two attributes with
the same name.  Of course, it should be allowed by schema.

Disagree. I understand that the document should be for
jonny-random-company who just wants to make his (proprietary) Software
available to as many Linux users as possible and so he looks for a quick
way to create .debs. I doubt these people don't want to look into the
Debian Reference (because they don't care for Debian), they want a
self-contained HOWTO (yes, some duplication would probably be
necessary).

Of course, it comes down to the question if 'Debian' wants this or not.
I'd be in favor of such a document - although probably many Debian
developers won't use such software, many users may want to. And having
Debian on the list of supported distributions always sounds fine. (Even
if they write Debian and really mean only Debian i386). Visibility
doesn't hurt here.

Sure, but geramik is the source package name. There will be a

<%收信人%> 您好,关于传真解决方案

2002-12-10 Thread jinza1109
Title: New Page 1






<%收件人%> 您好: 

   纵横科技是一家网络软件和系统开发商,秉承着"网络互动无限"的信念,以先进过硬的技术实力和孜孜不倦的做事作风,为从事国际货运企业提供开放的,安全的,稳定的,高效的电子化解决方案。
  纵横科技IWORKS-FAX系统能处理国际货运企业普遍存在的大量传真往来,完全通过B/结构的前台处理系统,支持在线收发大批量传真,传真的智能转发,传真订单的审批与回复,传真文档的智能管理、支持签章与个人签名,支持多线路的传真处理功能。是国际货运企业最理想的传真系统解决方案。解决国际货运企业普遍存在的传真处理难题。结合纵横科技IWORKS-OA(办公自动化)及其它信息化系统(如OA、CRM、HRM、ERP等信息化系统),将为贵公司打造智能化的信息化企业。欢迎来电咨询。
   
IWORKS-FAX功能介绍
(一)	 智能转发传真 

    
系统可以实时同时监听各电话线路上的传真,如果传真请求到来,系统可以根据客户拨打的号码智能分类,转发到相应的负责人员下。在以前,如果客户发传真到公司(假设本公司的传真号码是1234-5678),客户拨(1234-5678)来发送传真,然后公司员工定时到传真机收取传真,造成了很大的不便。但是一旦安装和使用了系统,只要客户拨相应的后缀号码,传真就会自动转送到相应的负责员工上。例如,如果客户拨打"1234-5678"来发送传真,当接通了电话,不需要任何人声提示按键某一个传真信箱号码,例如是"123",系统将会找出与123号码相对应的用户,智能转发到该用户手中,用户只要在自己电脑即可在线收取到转发给自己的传真,大大提高了效率和保密性,同时也避免了大量的纸张浪费。系统对未能成功转发的传真会智能转入"传真大厅",让用户自行人工选择性转发和查看。

(二)	 在线查看 
系统可以让用户在电脑上面即可在线查看收取的传真,不需要打印纸张,大大节省成本。

(三)	 在线搜索 
用户可以根据对方号码,收取时间搜索传真,进行快捷的管理。

(四)	 在线发送 
用户可以直接在电脑上面发送传真,而不需要通过打印和传真机来发送传真,节省纸张成本。传真可以支持任何文档格式,用户可以将各种文字,图象,OFFICE文档和其他文件格式转换成传真发送给客户。
(五)	 日志支持 
用户的每一项操作都载入日志,管理员可以查看到用户发送传真的次数,发送到什么地方,在什么时候发送等等信息。

(六)	 来电显示支持 
系统支持对方来电号码显示功能,可以将电话模拟信号里面进行解码析取对方号码并记录下来。

(七)	 签名档支持 
系统支持签名档,可以把用户的签名档附加到需要发送的电子传真上并发送出去。

(八)	 部门电子签章支持 
系统支持部门电子印章,可以把部门的的电子印章"附印"到需要发送的电子传真上并发送出去。
(九)	 通讯录支持 
系统支持通讯录,用户可以将对方的传真号码保存到通讯录里。

(十)	 传真审批支持 
传真档案支持企业审批流程,用户可以通过工作流模块对传真进行流程审批,根据已经定义好的工作流进行一级一级审批,然后归档或者"部门盖章"发送传真给客户。"部门盖章"类似于用户的手写签名,系统可以将部门的章印"付印"到传真档案进行发送。
(十一)	 存档支持 
系统可以对所接受的传真档案可以进行存档,档案的管理支持无限层的文件夹树型管理。

(十二)	强大的树型权限过滤 
传真文档和文件夹受强大的树型权限过滤,用户可以将某一个文件夹里的所有文档和自文件夹拒绝或者允许某个部门或者某个小组或者某个用户享有读或者写的权限。权限的定义友好和灵活。

(十三)	报警支持 
当用户接收到传真之后,系统可以通过立刻接收即时信息,弹出提示窗口通知用户,报警功能还支持收集短信报警接口,系统可以将接收传真的报警信息通过手机短信发送到用户去。

IWORKS-FAX应用优势
纵横科技的智能传真解决方案和同类产品比较有着很多卓越的优势:

(一)	功能强大 
系统除了支持简单的收发传真功能以外,还同时支持手写签名,传真审批,即时报警功能和传真转发信箱功能,同时发送传真可以支持任何文档格式,包括文字,图片,OFFICE文档,CAD图纸等等。由于技术门槛比较高,同类产品很少同时支持这些强大的功能。


(二)	强大的安全机制 
传真档案使用了纵横科技自主开发的X-Tree树型权限元件,能够进行灵活的,完善的权限过滤。任何人都不可以越过权限查看相关的传真档案。

(三)	前瞻的I-Works平台优势 
传真管理系统和I-Works平台以及其他系统(可结合纵横科技现有的OA、CRM、HRM、ERP等系统)紧密集成一起,可以无缝和别的软件系统结合起来。例如可以和电子邮件系统结合起来进行"电子邮件-传真"功能。I-Works平台使传真方案具有强大的扩展性能和兼容性能。关于I-WORKS平台,请访问 http://www.chinavh.com 

(四)	强大的负载能力 
对于一些传真业务异常繁重的企业,系统支持多电话线智能并行收发。系统通过智能侦听技术利用空闲的电话线路进行收发。另外,系统完全支持分部运算,可以将高负荷的传真数据量拓展给多台服务器进行并行处理。

(五)	完全支持浏览器访问 
目前很多同类产品的客户端是基于C/S架构,即每台客户需要安装一个客户端软件才可以进行使用。本系统完全支持浏览器访问,用户只要通过Windows里的自带浏览器即可以访问到传真系统。
