binary distributions
</UL>
<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
<UL>
<LI><TT>-Dsco</TT> is now correctly set for compilation on SCO
<LI>bash versions prior to 1.14 are not accepted for
<TT>SCRIPT_SH</TT> because they contain bugs that cause some shell scripts
to not function correctly
<LI><TT>_PATH_DEV</TT> is defined if not found in <TT><paths.h></TT>
</UL>
<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
<A NAME="modemconfig"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE MODEM CONFIG FILES:</B></A>
<UL>
<LI>a new file was added for ZyXEL modems operating in Class 1
(as supported in firmware revision 6.14 and later)
<LI>prototype config files were updated to use the new parameters:
<TT>Class1HFLOCmd</TT>, <TT>Class1SFLOCmd</TT>, <TT>Class1NFLOCmd</TT>
<TT>Class2HFLOCmd</TT>, <TT>Class2SFLOCmd</TT>, <TT>Class2NFLOCmd</TT>
<LI>syntax errors were corrected in the Telebit T3000 and WorldBlazer files
</UL>
<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
<A NAME="faxq"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES TO FAXQ:</B></A>
<UL>
<LI>the kill time for a job is now adjusted to take into account delays
introduced by time-of-day restrictions
<LI>the initialization of the <TT>TimeOfDay</TT> configuration parameter
has been corrected
<LI>the <B>ps2fax</B> script invoked to rasterize PostScript is now
executed directly (an intermediate shell used to be used)
<LI>a bug was fixed where output from <B>ps2fax</B> was not being
properly written to the job request file; this should correct the
problem where output from failed PostScript conversions was not
being returned in the notification message
</UL>
<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
<A NAME="faxsend"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES TO FAXSEND:</B></A>
<UL>
<LI>when a modem is set into Class 1, 2, or 2.0 the drivers now

flow control scheme; see
<TT>Class1NFLOCmd</TT>, <TT>Class1SFLOCmd</TT>, <TT>Class1HFLOCmd</TT>,

<UL>
<LI>the Class 1 driver now recognizes

<LI>the tty device mode and ownership are now properly restored after
getty exits

make sure <B>faxd.recv</B> is run by the proper user
<LI>several operations have been significantly sped up
<LI>the consistency checking of the scheduler configuration file was corrected
<LI>new configuration files are now created using a scheme that
insures existing data will not be lost if a filesystem is full

new scheme generates more compact PostScript that should execute
faster and with fewer imaging artifacts
