##################################################################
# REQUIRMENTS:  -TK/TCL installed properly
#
#               -TIX installed properly
#
#               -mgetty/vgetty installed properly
#
#               -faxrunqd running at boot time
#
##################################################################


1.      Find a suitable directory to start from (best done from
        root account for overall compatability)

                # cd /usr/local/lib

                # tar tvfz tkfaxspool-0.x.tar.gz | less

        This displays the contents of the archive (you should always
        do this before unpacking a tar file)

2.      Unpack the archive:

                # tar xvfz tkfaxspool-0.x.tar.gz

        This creates a subdirectory ./tkfaxspool-0.x where all the
        extracted files should go.

3.      Change to the new directory:

                # cd tkfaxspool-0.x


4.      run ./install.sh and skip to step 8.

                    OR

        Follow these instructions for manual installation:

        Make sure the mgetty tools are in your path:

                # type faxrm faxspool faxq

        Should return the location of the tools:

                faxrm is /usr/local/bin/faxrm
                faxspool is /usr/local/bin/faxspool
                faxq is /usr/local/bin/faxq

5.      Make sure that wish is in your path:

                # type wish

        Should return the location of wish:

                wish is /usr/bin/wish

6.      Make sure that tixwish is in your path:

                # type tixwish

        Should return the location of wish:

                wish is /usr/local/bin/tixwish
 
        This is usually a good indication that tix is installed on your system.
 
7.      Link the directory:
        cd /usr/local/lib
        ln -s tkfaxspool-0.1 tkfaxspool
 
        Link the script to /usr/local/bin:
        ln -s /usr/local/lib/tkfaxspool/tkfaxspool /usr/local/bin/tkfaxspool
 
8.      Start the script:
 
                # ./tkfaxspool
 
        Play with it.
 
9.      tkfaxspool also accepts the command line argument -f /path/filename
        This will load the /path/filename into the "FILES to FAX" list.
        This is very useful for building a FAX-Printer script to print from
        any program directly to tkfaxspool. (See the README for more details)
