A HotPhone for FaxPack

by Lee Calcraft


When using Computer Concepts' excellent FaxPack it is not always obvious when the device is on line. This is indicated by the handset on the telephone icon being raised, and the word Auto underneath the icon changing to Sending or Receiving. But this does not easily catch your eye.

Changing the standard fp_offhook icon for the one supplied here will make your phone icon turn an eye-catching red whenever FaxPack is in use.

INSTALLATION
To install the new sprite, just open your !FaxMngr directory by double-clicking on its icon with the Shift key held down. Then load its !Sprites file into Paint by double-clicking on it.

Now run the HotPhone application. This will open a directory containing the new sprite. Now simply drag the new sprite to the Paint viewer you have opened, and resave the altered file back to where you loaded it from.

To test out the new icon, just install FaxPack, and type:
  *OffHook
at the command line. Use:
  *OnHook
to go back off line.
