Send/Receive Fax for the AppleIIgs

    *** Status Report ***

Last updated: 2/22/94

__________________________________

Serial drivers:
	Done for Port B.. For port A I just need to cut and paste and
make a few changes.

Printer driver:
	Started.  (This part of the program now has top priority)

NDA for receiving:
	Opens NDA window from resources.  Starts up and shutsdown
serial port based on the settings in the window.  Receives faxes to a
user defined directory.  Several preferences bugs need to be fixed.
Overall it works real well though.

Code for receiving:
	Receives any number of pages.  This is as complete as it will
get till I can get beta testers to find "weird" cases where it doesn't
work correctly.

Code for sending:
	First sucessful send occured on 2/21/94.. This will have to
wait till the printer driver is working till more work is done on it.

Code for encoding an image:
	Not started. (but should be trivial)

Code for decoding an image:
	G3 (fax format) to APF convertor done.  Its slow and has no
scaling options, but it works good.  I even fixed it so that it
doesn't suck tremendous amounts of memory anymore, although there
aren't many programs that will handle the large APF's it produces.
