Excuse my jumping in but maybe you can shed some light.  Awhile back I
ordered a fax from WordPerfect [they have a special 800 number which one
can use to get information] and received two faxes from them.  One was 6
pages and came to 261,000 bytes [!!!], the other 2 pages and about
180,000 bytes.  When I tried to print them, nothing happened on the
printer.  When I examined the file, using EDIT, it was made up of a lot
of tokens and other garbage.  It definitely was NOT and ASCII file.
I explained the problem in a message to Mustang's BBS but the
'technician' who responded was less than helpful.  Any ideas??
