Hi,

the .dsc file has the following format :
struct FaxArgs
{
        BOOL    FaxCover;		// Use faxcover ?
        BOOL    Fine;			// Should fine fax mode used ?
        char    Cover[128];		// Coversheet file
        char    Comments[512];
        char    FromCompany[40];
        char    FromFaxNr[40];
        char    FromLocation[40];
        char    FromVoiceNr[40];
        char    To[40];
        char    ToCompany[40];
        char    ToLocation[40];
        char    ToVoiceNr[40];
        int             PSize;		//  Page Size
        char    Name[40];
        int             SendEMail;	// EMail Send mode
        char    Regarding[80];
        char    Filename[128];
        char    FaxNo[512];		// Fax numbers
} ;

I don't know how good the tmpname function of windows works in
this cases. Using the same share for many people at the same time may
cause problems.
