INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING BGFAX32 WITH WILDCAT 5 (WITHOUT PX)...

1. Added direct support for Wildcat 5.  To use with WC5, do the following:
   (a) Go to "START -> Programs -> Wildcat! 5 -> wcConfig -> Node Settings"
   (b) Click on the NODE# that you wish to add BGFAX, then click EDIT
   (c) Now make sure that the "Front end" box has a CHECK MARK in it
   (d) Click "OK", and click "OK" again to get out of the Node Settings prog
   (e) Copy the C:\WC5\WCFRONT.DLL file into the same directory that
       contains the BGFAX32.EXE file (usually C:\BGFAX)
   (f) Make a file called FBBS.BAT in the BGFAX directory that says:
                @echo off
                :top
                bgfax32 /host /pid:1 /wc
                if errorlevel 4 goto top
                if errorlevel 3 goto top
                if errorlevel 2 goto top
                if errorlevel 1 goto top

   (g) Notice that /PID:1 stands for Node 1, and that /WC tells BGFAX32
       to use the special WC5 features.  Both /PID:1 and /WC MUST be
       specified.  (/PID:nn any node number that your WC5 license uses.)
   (h) FBBS.BAT (BGFAX32) will not be able to transfer calls to WC5 unless
       both wcServer an wcOnline are both running.
   (i) Oh, and be sure to scan through BGFAX.CNF configuration file and
       make sure all com port is set right, etc. before you do anything

======================================================================

   USING BGFAX32 WITH OTHER APPLICATIONS THAT SPAWN TO BGFAX...

   Now, a passed handle
   will be treated just like a passed handle in BGFAX for OS/2.  i.e.,
   bgfax32 /fax c:\bgfax h5 z
   Where the "h5" tells BGFAX32 to use 32-bit handle "5".  The actual handle
   number will not be human generated, it will be generated by the Win32
   "createfile()" function in the Win32/BBS or Win32/FidoMailer.

   BGFAX32 MUST ONLY BE USED IF YOU ARE USING A WIN32 BBS OR FRONTEND
   (SUCH AS BEEMAIL).  If you are using a DOS-based BBS or frontend, you
   MUST continue to use the BGFAX.EXE for DOS.

======================================================================

Other Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~
BGFAX32 requires Win32 (Windows 95 or NT).  It will NOT work on Win32s.
(Win32s is a subset of the Win32 API that Windows 3.1 and OS/2 can use.)

BGFAX32 is a console app.  This means it will look identical in appearance
to BGFAX for DOS and OS/2.  It should be identical in function to the DOS
version.

TAPI support should NOT be enabled for this port.
