Outbound Fax Client / Windows Driver [Option]
FFMERGE is a Windows print driver which creates fax files. Its unique feature is that it uses a special Truetype font which survives the Windows rasterization process and can be used to specify phone numbers, e-mail addresses and variable data to the driver. This allows FFMERGE to send out a "fax-merge" just as simply as a "mail-merge", by including a "merge data field" containing a fax number in the document created by your word-processor or contact manager. This patented technique is normally much faster than using methods such as DDE, and involves no programming or special macros.
To set up FFMERGE under Windows and to change parameters, use the FFMRGNT program.
