Q. How do I make hylafax recognize pcl files?
A. The typerules file clearly says:
For string and ascii data, no comparison operator is allowed,
# and embedded spaces, but not embedded tabs, are allowed.
# These data are taken literally; no C-style character escapes
# are meaningful.
So I simply added this line near the top
0 string ^[E tiff
myscripttodo -otiff_g3 >%o <%i
I used vi and pressed Control V and pressed the escape key, and then entered E.
I then used
[scooter@isw hylafax]# /usr/sbin/typetest -f typerules ./*.pcl match against (..., 512)
rule: offset 0 string = "%!" -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 short = 0x4d4d -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 short = 0x4949 -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 short = 0x1da -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 short = 0x1f1e -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 short = 0x1f9d -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 short = 0x506 -- failed (comparison)

rule: offset 0 short = 0xf702 -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 string = "GIF" -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 long = 0x59a66a95 -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 string = "

HOORAY!
