6. Installation

Contents of this section

After customizing several paths and UID/GIDs in Makefile, simply call make install with super-user privileges, and the files are copied to their appropriate directories. Replace "nobody.nobody" by the UID/GID pair that your MTA (e.g. sendmail, smail) uses when passing mail files to an executable via /etc/aliases. A short description and manual is in tex-send-fax.el. You should adjust the tex-dvi-* commands in tex-mode-hook.el and include

(load "/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/tex-mode-hook")

in your .emacs. That's it.

gert.tex is a sample tex fax source. You can see the \special command to underlay the postscript header page, the Fax-Nr.: token and the %APPEND commands to append several files. Watch how I included my handwritten subscript .milz.eps. This one was scanned on a Canon CLC-10 with 200 dpi and exported as EPS with the respective Macintosh scanning software. It's that easy... (I didn't include the file here for obvious reasons, but you get the idea :-)

If you try the code, I'd appreciate hints and bug reports. Let's get it up and running.

Have fun!
