(ALPHA VERSION)
  1.70 Revision Q2
Sun 17 August 1997
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. Fixed a bug in the OS/2 build of POLYFAX made for 1.70q that
   prevented POLYFAX2 from queuing up faxes when put into the .NEW path.
b. I've included the first build of MAKEFAX-Win32, called MAKEFX32.EXE.
   Since we need full 32-bit apps to keep Win95 multitasking working at
   peak perfomance, I finally had the incentive to do the port.  Luckily
   it only took about one-and-a-half hours.
c. Fixed the bug involved in queuing up of faxes in POLY32 that was left
   in the previous alpha (170q1).
d. POLYFAX2 (OS/2) now calls MAKEFAX2 (OS/2) instead of the DOS version.
(ALPHA VERSION)
   1.70 Revision Q1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. Included POLY32.EXE, the Win32 version of POLYFAX, to help determine
   if the window freezing was caused by the 16-bit POLYFAX.  As a note,
   I tried opening 8 POLYFAX.EXE windows last night, and they all
   continued to count.  I had to use the #ND switch on all windows, but
   one, since I don't have a Digiboard.  Note that the POLY32.EXE currently
   has a problem actually queing up the faxes, so for testing the freeze
   issue anyway, be sure to only test it with the #PO:nnn option.  Also,
   I noticed a strange problem when STARTing multiple POLY32.EXE's, in
   that some of the windows would come up with "insufficient memory".  I
   am curious to see if the same thing happens for you.
(ALPHA VERSION)
   1.70 Revision Q
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. I have finally compiled an OS/2 version of POLYFAX.  POLYFAX2.EXE is
   now included in this release.  There has not been much demand for an
   OS/2 POLYFAX, but it only took an hour or two of work to port the DOS
   version over, so it's available if anyone needs it.  POLYFAX2.EXE will
   use BGFAX2.EXE rather than BGFAX.EXE or BGFAX32.EXE.
b. New #ND switch for POLYFAX /SEND and /QUEUE modes.  This switch prevents
   POLYFAX from dialing (actually, prevents BGFAX from dialing).  This will
   be useful in a situation where you are running multiple POLYFAX copies.
   The #ND station will simply look for new files only, since it seems to
   work much better in this configuration than having one of the actual
   dialing stations doing the file queueing job.  As such, here is a
   revision to the example GO.BAT I posted in the 1.70P beta.
        @echo off
        start polyfax /queue #32 #nd
        start polyfax /queue #32 #po:1
        start polyfax /queue #32 #po:2
        start polyfax /queue #32 #po:3
        start polyfax /queue #32 #po:4
   Note that ALL polyfax lines require either a #ND or a #PO:nnn switch
   if you are using more than one POLYFAX.  Recall the #32 tells POLYFAX
   to use BGFAX32.EXE instead of BGFAX.EXE.
