What does this product do?

By executing a single UNIX command, AutoAttach can start a PC e-mail program with specified UNIX files attached to the message.

Two licenses are available: Standard and Deluxe. The Deluxe license adds the ability to convert a UNIX text file into an Adobe Acrobat-compatible PDF "on-the-fly" and have the PDF included as an attachment to the PC message (along with other files).

What are some key features of this product?

  • One simple UNIX command transfers the UNIX files to the specified PC and starts the default PC e-mail program (ex: Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape, Mozilla, etc.) with the files attached to the message
  • Recipients of the message can be specified in the UNIX command, complete with carbon-copy and blind carbon-copy designations
  • A subject and body text can also be specified
  • With the Deluxe license, a UNIX text file can be converted into a PDF file and included as an attachment, complete with an optional JPEG background (the form the data completes)
  • Flexible PDF configuration templates can be created and specified on the command line for defining any number of configuration combinations to custom tailor the PDF file (ex: invoice, accounting report, etc.)
  • The PDF supports widths of 80, 96, 132, 144 and 220 columns (with optional automatic detection), an option to fit to 8.5", and 6 or 8 lines per inch
  • Any PC e-mail program that supports MAPI can be started by AutoAttach
  • No additional software or shared UNIX directories are required (FTP, Samba, etc.)

What are the software & hardware configuration requirements?

FineLine PC AutoAttach requires the PC e-mail program to use POP3 for retrieving e-mail because a bug in Windows causes MAPI errors when IMAP is used in lieu of POP3.

All PCs to use the product be connected to the UNIX server over a local TCP/IP network or VPN. Note that the PCs must either have static IP addresses on the network or use the FineLine PC Tether or Samba software to determine the dynamic IP address.

What UNIX platforms are supported?

  • SCO UnixWare 7
  • Linux
