              invoked.
              FFaaxxrruunnqq  will send all spooled faxes, which are not
              suspended or already sent.  This command would only
              work  if you invoke PPaallMMaaiill as root.  For this rea-
              son a simple C-program is provided which can be run
              SUID.  If you consider this a security hole, change
              the variable _F_A_X_R_U_N_Q___M_O_D_E to 0750 in  the  Makefile
              before  installation.  PPaallMMaaiill will display logging
              messages in the information box.   This  displaying
              will  only  work  if you don't use xxhhoosstt for access
              control (it uses the _s_e_n_d mechanism of TTccll  ).  Use
              xxaauutthh  instead. If the send mechanism doesn't work,
              the output will be displayed to stdout and you have
              to stop FFaaxxrruunnqq manually to continue. While FFaaxxrruunnqq
              is running, all other commands are locked. You  may
              press  _S_t_o_p  to  cancel  the command. If _s_e_n_d_f_a_x is
              already running, this  will  take  some  time.  You
              can't stop dialing.
              The  following  commands  refer  to  all pages of a
              queued fax, even if only one page is selected.
              If you SSuussppeenndd a queued fax, it won't  be  sent  at
              the  next  ffaaxxrruunnqq run. This will only affect faxes
              with a qq:: flag.
              If you RReessppooooll an already sent or suspended fax, it
              will  be  sent  again at the next ffaaxxrruunnqq run. This
              will only affect faxes with a dd:: or ss:: flag.
              To delete a fax, select one or more  pages  of  the
              fax and press the DDeelleettee button. The whole fax (all
              pages) will be removed from the spool directory. It
              is  not possible to remove only selected pages from
              a fax.

       CCoonnnneecctt handles connections to other hosts.

              In   this   mode   the   contents   of   the   file
              _/_u_s_r_/_l_o_c_a_l_/_l_i_b_/_P_a_l_M_a_i_l_/_i_n_-_h_o_s_t_s  are  displayed  in
              the listbox. They can be used to create an internet
              connection  via SLIP or PPP. Usually this file con-
              tains a list of hostnames.  To  use  these  listbox
              entries,   the   commands   _d_o___C_o_n_n_e_c_t___c_o_m_m_a_n_d  and
              _d_o___D_i_s_C_o_n_n_e_c_t___c_o_m_m_a_n_d in the configuration  section
              of  PPaallMMaaiill must have been configured. The variable
              _$_f will be replaced with the value of  the  listbox
              entry.
              CCoonnnneecctt  will  try to connect to the first selected
              host. It  will  display  logging  messages  in  the
              information  box. This displaying will only work if
              you don't use xxhhoosstt for access control (it uses the
              _s_e_n_d  mechanism of TTccll ). Use xxaauutthh instead. If the
              send mechanism doesn't work,  the  output  will  be
              displayed to stdout.
              The  button  OOffff closes a previously opened connec-
              tion. You may press this button  while  dialing  to
              stop it.

              AAdddd  lets you add a new hostname to the listbox. It
              is not possible to enter a name, if the appropriate
              connect  skript  doesn't  exist.  DDeelleettee removes an
              entry from the listbox. All changes are saved imme-
              diately.
              To  disable  this  mode  totally,  delete  the file
              _/_u_s_r_/_l_o_c_a_l_/_l_i_b_/_P_a_l_M_a_i_l_/_i_n_-_h_o_s_t_s after installation.

       TTccll//TTkk is a programming system for developing GUI applica-
       tions written by John K. Ousterhout.  You  need  at  least
       the  windowing shell wwiisshh((11)) to run PPaallMMaaiill..  It will work
       with TTkk versions 3.6 and 4.0. Other versions may work, but
       are not tested.

       mmggeettttyy((11))  from the mmggeettttyy++sseennddffaaxx package written by Gert
       D"oring <[e-mail]> allows to use  a  FAX  modem
       for  receiving  FAX  messages and handling external logins
       without interfering with outgoing calls.

       ffaaxxvviieeww((11)) by Ralph Schleicher <[e-mail]> is  a
       simple  dialog for viewing FAX messages.  This is a useful
       tool which provides a file menu from which incoming  faxes
       can  be selected for display.  This program was the start-
       ing point for the development of PPaallMMaaiill..

       xxllii((11)),, xxllooaaddiimmaaggee((11)),, xxvv((11)) and ddiissppllaayy((11)) (the last  one
       is  from  the IImmaaggeeMMaaggiicckk package) can be used to view FAX
       pages under X  directly.   All  these  programs  are  much
       slower  than  gg33vviieeww((11))  or vviieewwffaaxx((11)) written by Frank D.
       Cringle <[e-mail]> because they are highly  opti-
       mized  for  FAX  messages  received by mmggeettttyy((11)) (it takes
       less than a second to display an average FAX page).

       gg33ttooppbbmm((11))  from   the   ppbbmmpplluuss,,   nneettppbbmm   or   (better)
       mmggeettttyy++sseennddffaaxx  package may help you to convert a FAX page
       into other formats.

       ppbbmmttoollppss((11)) from the nneettppbbmm package may be useful to  con-
       vert the resulting PBM files to Postscript for printing.

       The  PPiicckk UUpp command didn't work for me. Please tell if it
       works at your site or what patches are necessary.
