 RipBeginDCX
 Create a DCX file
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

    RipBeginDCX(<cFile>, [<nWidth>], [<nLength>])

 Parameters

    <cFile> is the name of the output file.

    <nWidth> is the page width, in RIP units.  The default width is 1728
    pixels, just over 8.5".

    <nLength> is the maximum page length, in RIP units.  The default length
    is 2200 pixels, approximately 11".

 Description

    RipBeginDCX() works like RipBegin(), except that the output file it
    creates will be in DCX format instead of TIFF-F.  Faxual II cannot send
    DCX files, but they can be used with some other fax modems like the
    Intel SatisFAXtion.

    Only five specific values of <nWidth> are valid.  These correspond to
    five allowable page widths that are supported by fax machines:

         864 pixels  (4.32 inches)
        1216 pixels  (6.08 inches)
        1728 pixels  (8.64 inches)  * Default
        2048 pixels (10.24 inches)
        2432 pixels (12.16 inches)

    Every fax machine supports the default width of 1728 pixels.  The other
    sizes are optional, and rare.  If <nWidth> is zero or omitted, RipBegin
    will use the default width, 1728 pixels.  Otherwise, it must be exactly
    equal to one of the values in this list.

    <nLength>, the page length, defaults to 11".  Most fax machines will
    accept pages slightly longer than this, but some will cut off or not
    print the bottom 1/4" or so.  RipBeginDCX() will accept a maximum length
    of about 24", depending on the page width and available memory.  It will
    accept very short page lengths, but some fax machines will do weird
    things with pages under about 4" long.

    RipBeginDCX() does not accept an <nResolution> parameter, as RipBegin()
    does.  DCX files are always created in high resolution.
