DL>WV>The fax should be a straight ASCII file.  I think Word 6 can convert it
DL>WV>to a format that it can use.
DL>Excuse my jumping in but maybe you can shed some light.  Awhile back I
DL>ordered a fax from WordPerfect [they have a special 800 number which one
DL>can use to get information] and received two faxes from them.  One was 6
DL>pages and came to 261,000 bytes [!!!], the other 2 pages and about
DL>180,000 bytes.  When I tried to print them, nothing happened on the
DL>printer.  When I examined the file, using EDIT, it was made up of a lot
DL>of tokens and other garbage.  It definitely was NOT and ASCII file.
I'll have to check monday...I believe it's 7-bit ASCII with fax
control-characters.  The codes are as specified by the v.3 or v.17 ITU
spec?
DL>I explained the problem in a message to Mustang's BBS but the
DL>'technician' who responded was less than helpful.  Any ideas??
That guy may have had some knowledge of "standard" message
communications, but he probably didn't understand fax communications at
all.
