4. Using Electronic Mail
- With Presto! PageManager, you can use the popular
e-mail
applications Lotus cc:Mail and Microsoft Mail.
- You can use the Preferences/Mail dialog box to
specify the
preferred transfer format.
There are eight file formats to choose from:
PageManager file
(*.PFC),Uncompresssed TIFF, JPEG, PCX, BMP,
Uncompressed FlashPix,
Single Color,Compression FlashPix and JPEG
Compression FlashPix.
. PageManager file(*.PFC) - With the Presto!
PageManager format,
you can send documents with smaller file sizes.
Also,
with this format, all annotations and highlight
areas
will be included as part of the file. The
recipient
can view files using the Presto! PageManager
Viewer.
Documents displayed in Viewer appear similar to
those
displayed in Presto! PageManager.
. Uncompressed TIFF(*.TIF)
JPEG file(*.JPG)
PCX file(*.PCX)
Bitmap file(*.BMP)
Uncompressed FlashPix(*.FPX)
Single Color Compression FlashPix(*.FPX)
JPEG Compression FlashPix(*.FPX) - If the recipient
of your mail
does not have Presto! PageManager Viewer, you
can
send documents with these formats. Sending
documents
with JPEG format will reduce your e-mail's size,
but
the recipient needs an image viewer or image
editor
that can read JPEG files.
Uncompressed formats, such as TIFF, PCX, and
BMP,
will normally require a lot of disk space. A
300-dpi
image A4-size B/W document, for example, will
require
1 MByte of disk space to store. A grayscale
document
of equivalent size will require 8 MBytes of
storage
space.
- When you receive an e-mail message with attached
Presto!
PageManager files, you can display the attached
files in the
following manner:
. With Lotus cc:Mail, you can Shift-double-click
the attachment to
automatically run Presto! PageManager Viewer and
display the
attachment. Or choose the attachment, then select
Run Item from
the Message Menu.
or
. Save the attached files using the e-mail Save or
Save As command,
then open the attachment in Presto! PageManager
Viewer to display
it.
- If your system has installed and enabled both
Lotus cc:Mail and
Lotus Notes Mail, and you want to send mail with
Lotus cc:Mail,
follow the two guidelines below:
. Make sure that the Lotus cc:Mail path precedes
the Lotus Notes
path.
For example, if your original PATH statement
is:
PATH=C:\NOTES;T:\CCMAIL
It should be changed to:
PATH=T:\CCMAIL;C:\NOTES
. In win.ini, change the [LotusMail]
session to properly reflect
the desired mail application.
For example, if your original [LotusMail]
in win.ini is:
Application=Notes
Program=C:\NOTES\NOTES.EXE NoDialogs
It should be changed to:
Application=WMAIL
Program=T:\CCMAIL\WMAIL.EXE SEBDMAIL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Lotus Notes Enabling Module
Presto! PageManager provides the Lotus Notes
enabling module. You can
send documents to Lotus Notes using
drag-and-drop.
Presto! PageManager provides three formats for
transferring documents
to Lotus Notes: TIFF files(uncompressed TIFF), PCX
files, and Bitmap
files. The methods for installing this module are
listed below:
- Installing Presto! PageManager after Lotus
Notes:
Presto! PageManager will detect Lotus Notes and
automatically add
the Notes enabling module to the Presto!
PageManager application
bar.
- Installing Lotus Notes after Presto!
PageManager:
If Lotus Notes is installed after Presto!
PageManager, and you want
to add the Notes enabling module, either reinstall
Presto!
PageManager or do the following:
. In the [UMXADDIN] section (the
UMXADDIN.INI file in windows
directory), modify the NotesExeDir entry to
indicate the
directory where Lotus Notes is installed. For
example, if Lotus
Notes is installed at H:\, then change the entry
to:
[UMXADDIN]
NotesExeDir=H:\
. Add the following statement to the

Thomas Bancroft, of Dedham and Reading, Mass., a
native of England, *born about 1625, !died at Lynn,
Mass., 19 Aug. 1691. }He married first at Dedham,
31: 1 mo. 1647, Alice Bacon, who died 29: 1 mo.
1648, daughter of Michael Bacon; | and secondly, at
Dedham, 15: 7 mo. 1648, Elizabeth Metcalf, baptized
at St. Benedict's Norwich, England, 20 Sept. 1626,
died at Reading 11 May 1711, aged 85 years,
daughter of Michael and Sarah (Ellwyn) Metcalf.
(See Register, vol. 6, pp. 171-173; vol. 78, p.
64)
The exact date of Thomas Bancroft's arrival in the
Massachusetts Bay Colony is unknown. He may have
come with his brother John Bancroft in 1632. He was
made fatherless in England in 1627, but as his
stepmother lived until 1639, it is probable that he
remained in England rather than, when but ten years
old, make the migration to America with his
brother.
The death of his stepmother in 1639 in England
would have left him free to follow his relatives to
America in 1640.
In his "History of Lynn" Newhall includes "Lieut.
Thomas Bancroft" among the newcomers in 1640.
Thomas Bancroft, the subject of this article, was
then but eighteen years old and could scarcely be
correctly described as "lieutenant." However, he
acquired this title later, and was thereafter
always referred to a s "Lieutenant Thomas Bancroft"
or as "Ensign," so it is probable that he did come
to Lynn among the newcomers in 1640. It would have
been quite possible for Newhall to identify him by
using the title by which he was later most
frequently known.
Thomas Bancroft was admitted a townsman at the
annual town meeting of Dedham, Mass., held in the
spring of 1648, and at the meeting of the town,
held on 12th of 10th month 1650, he was granted a
parcel of land (not exceeding three acres) near the
land of Richard Ellice "towards the place called
the Old Mille." It was agreed that it should be
improved within four years or be returned to the
town.
This evidently was not the first grant of land to
Thomas Bancroft, for four days later the selectman
"granted unto Thomas Bancroft liberty to remove his
fence so that he may have such an enlargement on
the back side of his Barne as maye be necessary for
the setting of a leanto against said barne, this
enlargement to be such as shall be according to the
direction of William Bullard and Eleazer Lusher,
pvded that the said Thomas doe alowe so much land
on the other side of the way right against the
foresaid place as may continue the waye ther at the
due breadth: & allso doe so much work there in
the waye, as the forenamed men shall judg needfull
to make the waye convenient for passing
through."
He was taxed at Dedham from 1648 until 1652, when
his name disappears from the records of that
town.
On 19th of 10th mo. 1649 Thomas Bancroft was
adjudged behind in his highway work 6 sh. On the
12th of 12th mo. following, this 6 sh. was
discharged "vpon condicion that he (and another man
also in default) performe 2 sufficient dayes worke
with 6 cattell and a cart and a man in fetching
fencing stuffe at ye Town's appointment for the
enclosing the high way thru John Bacon's lott."
However, Thomas Bancroft had removed to Reading,
Mass., by 1648, for he was a freeman there in 1648,
and a member of the church of the First Parish of
Reading as early as 29th Sept. 1648. his wife
Elizabeth joined the Dedham church, 14th, 10th mo.
1651, and retained her membership until 16th, 4th
mo. 1662, when she joined the Reading church.
(Church records.)
He must have preceded his wife and children from
Dedham, as his son Thomas was born in Dedham in
1649 and his daughter Elizabeth and son John were
born and died there in 1650. In Eaton's
"Genealogical History of Reading," p. 43, it is
said he was spoken of as residing in Reading at the
time of his second marriage in 1648.
He leased a house in 1655, and in 1670 he purchased
60 acres of land in what was Lynn and is now
Lynnfield, near Beaver Dam. Here was the Bancroft
homestead.
The Registry of Deeds of Essex County, at Salem,
has records of several purchases of land by Thomas
Bancroft, the earliest of which is recorded 6, 9,
1670. The record of the last transaction in real
estate made by Thomas Bancroft is dated 29 Apr.
1691, a few months before he died, and is a deed
transferring a part of the homestead to his John.
(Essex County Register of Deeds, vol. 9, pp.
58-59.)
The first military company of Reading (says Eaton)
was formed probably at the time of the town's
incorporation in 1644, and was called the Reading
Infantry Company. Thomas Bancroft was at the head
of the company early, as he was the seventh man who
occupied that position. Later he occupied the
position as ensignof this company for many years.
In the Massachusetts Military Archives there is a
return dated 10 Dec. 1675, of men who had been
impressed in the town of Reading, in which his name
appears.
In the massachusetts Military Archives, vol. 69, p.
245, the original of the following petition of
Thomas Bancroft to the General Court is to be
found.Thomas of the Springfield, Mass. region,
residence at the "lower wharf," now Enfield, Conn.,
was a selectman of Westfield.
