Well, maybe.  What *I'm* looking for, there, though, is the ability to
tell the fax-to-printer client "begin batch", and instead of it
creating a fax job immediately, have it start piling the printed pages
into a job file.  Then, you you get to the last item, give you a list,
let you do any last minute re-arranging, and *then* create the fax job
and ship it to the server.

Perhaps, with Uli's GPLing of the WHFC source (and Woo Hoo! to
Transcom for that, BTW) some hotshot Windows programmer (a description
which does not fit me at all :-) will take a swing at that.
