  Developer's kit adds fax capability immediately to any Clipper application

  Portland, OR - MBS Software released today its newest product, the DB Fax 
  Developer's Kit which lets programmers add network fax capability to 
  Clipper based applications. The package provides automatic transfer of 
  contact data to the fax screen, single and broadcast fax capability from
  single and multiple data bases, and supports mergeletter faxes using 
  MS-Word, Word Pefect or the built-in word processor. The DB Fax Developer's 
  Kit retails for $795. MBS Software can be reached at (800) 962-9310.

  Although programmers aren't expected to pay royality for the usuage of the 
  library, users will need the stand-alone DB Fax Connection to access the
  application's fax capability. With the DB Fax Connection installed, 
  end-users can take advantage of the fax capability of the application. The
  enclosed DB Fax library consists of three functions, each of them adding 
  some level of fax capability. Following is a short description of each of
  the functions:

  The NETWORK FAX SUBMIT function allows to fax specific documents from the 
  application.  Adds just 7K to the Overlay area of the Clipper application.
  Network fax capability  while using a minimum of code space.

  The FAX SEND  function displays a screen, and allows the end-user to select
  files, and transmits the fax or submits it to a network fax server.  It 
  adds about 90K to the Overlay area of the Clipper application. Offers full 
  featured fax capability to existing application.

  The FAX QUEUE function allows full access to all DB FAX Connection 
  functions, including mass sending, file maintenance, and fax controls. It 
  adds about 200K to the Overlay area of the Clipper application. 

  The DB Fax Connection can be entirely integrated into any Clipper 
  application. FoxBase developers can take advantage of the same features by
  shelling to the  command line interface. A FoxPro version is under 
  development.

  The DB Fax Developer's Kit comes with both the single user and a network 
  version of the stand-alone DB Fax Connection; DB Merge a merge and import
  utility program; and the DB Fax library necessary to compile fax routines
  into Clipper based application. MBS Software has been producing dBase 
  add-on products since 1987.
