- IFF FORM / CHUNK DESCRIPTION
- ============================
-
- Form/Chunk IDs:
- FORM: FAXX
- Chunks: FXHD, PAGE, FLOG

-
- FXHD Chunk
- ==========
-
- The required property chunk "FXHD" contains a FaxHeader as defined in
- the following header file. The FaxHeader contains data necessary to interpret
- the data chunk "PAGE". The pixel size of the image can be determined from the
- contents of the FaxHeader structure, as well as the dimensions of the source
- document. The compression method used to encode the "PAGE" chunk is also part
- of the FaxHeader.
-
- PAGE Chunk
- ==========
-
- The required data chunk "PAGE" contains the encoded bit-packed fax image
- data that is transmitted/received during phase C of a facsimile communication.
- The data always begins with a fax EOL (End of line = 0x001) and ends
- with a fax RTC (Return to control = six consecutive EOLs).
-
- A multiple-page fax can be stored variously as multiple files or, most
- preferably, as an IFF LIST object with a shared FXHD chunk.
-
- FLOG Chunk
- ==========
-
- The optional data chunk "FLOG" contains log information about a received
- fax. The specification for this chunk will be submitted at a later date.

- Note: You may also find "GPHD" chunks in FAXX files. This is an
- additional header used by one software producer. See "FAXX.GPHD.doc"
