(SOLANA BEACH, CA, June 29, 1992) Cardiff Software, a leader in PC/fax-automation software, announces a Programmer's Development Kit for Teleform for Windows and Teleform-Multiuser software. Cardiff's Teleform automatically enters ASCII, spreadsheet or database information from a predesigned form faxed or scanned to a PC. The software automatically enters data without rekeying. The combination of Teleform-Multiuser and fax server software allows multiple fax boards and PCs to concurrently access and automatically interpret forms faxed into a fax server. Now VARs, system integrators and corporate users can integrate Teleform into existing applications or write new automated data entry programs. "Users can license Teleform as a modular add-on or write their own fax-based turnkey applications," says Dennis Clerke, vice president of sales and marketing. "The software solutions are limitless." The Teleform Programmer's Development Kit consists of Teleform software and the Teleform Interpretation Engine (TIE), a Windows Dynamic Link Library (DLL) which interprets Teleform forms directly from custom applications. After the TIE interprets a Teleform fax image, the user can program the routing and storage of the collected information into a database, spreadsheet or file. By controlling events before interpretation, programmers can use any fax board, network, fax server, scanner or other image input gathering and routing system. Then after interpretation, programmers can route, store, format and execute data in real time. The TIE routine, TieInterp, keeps track of forms interpreted and any errors that may have occurred. The Programmer's Development Kit is written in "C" code. "Users now have an easier way to integrate PC to fax automation technology into their programs," says Joe Larson, president of Cardiff Software. Using the Programmers Development Kit, Ibex Technologies has successfully integrated Teleform into their fax-on-demand system. This new application is called Interactive Forms. Interactive Forms allows users to request instant faxed-back information by filling out a form and faxing it to a remote PC. The Teleform Programmers Development Kit, consisting of Teleform for Windows software and the Teleform Interpretation Engine (TIE) software, lists at $1495 and is available directly from Cardiff Software. Current Teleform users may purchase TIE separately. Teleform requires a 386-based microcomputer with 4MB of RAM, at least 40MB of hard disk space and a VGA or EGA graphics card. k standard fax board, DOS 3.31 or higher, Microsoft Windows 3.0, and a mouse or pointing device are also required. VARs and resellers, who have developed custom applications, can take advantage of Cardiff Software's established VAR program. Cardiff's program includes leads generation, target account assistance, national advertising and trade show support. In addition, a technical support hot-line number, sales promotional materials and product training are also available. Cardiff Software develops and markets software products that provide facsimile and computerized productivity solutions for corporate and small business users.
