[hylafax-users] Passing maxlencomments from sendfax to faxcover

[Curtis Rempel <curtis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been able to produce a cover sheet using Word by saving the
postscript and inserting the variables used by faxcover accordingly.  If
I then generate a sample cover using faxcover with this template,
everything works just fine, including formatting the comments.   I am
using the commentsX variables with the -z 70 switch to faxcover to allow
for a maximum of 70 characters per comment line.

The problem is that sendfax, while passing all sort of other information
to faxcover, doesn't seem to have a way to pass -z 70 to faxcover.

Short of grabbing the source and recompiling faxcover, how can I either
pass this information from sendfax or change the default value that
faxcover uses?   I can't find any reference to using a variable in
hyla.conf, although one may exist I suppose.

I found the following in the archives but it doesn't look there is an
answer.  I have emailed the author of the posting in the hope that a
solution has been found.

Thanks.

________________________________________________________________________
I am still wondering how to increase the default 35 character length of fax 
cover comments lines. I made a useable custom fax coversheet using the 
commentsX entry, but I don't understand how to change comment line length.

I thought I once saw a reference on the hylafax web site to "maxlencomments" 
as a configuration file entry,  but I can no longer find it

Can I put an entry into /usr/share/fax/hyla.conf    
or some other configuration file?

something like this perhaps?

	maxlencomments: 60

Please help.
