Hi,

WHFC itselve will not process any documents. I don't want to implement
such a processing since WHFC is a client, wich simply sends
postscript or tiff/g3 to the HylaFAX server and gives a user interface
to the server.

You can write an own programm/macro which merges all the documents
attachements etc and prints them out in a single postscript file.
You can use the OLE interface from WHFC to send this file
to the HylaFAX server.

I have currently no idea how to do such a document process wich you
have described in your previous mails.
