Having scanned thru the rest of the deleted message body, I wonder why they are going thru all the effort to email a fax. What if they could PRINT the fax? Off the top of my head I don't know how the PC user would specify the fax number to be dialed. Otherwise Hylafax could be used as a print filter. By printing a fax one could avoid the hassle of file format translation. Let the PC convert to Postscript, Ghostscript to convert to something faxable. Is there a network dialog/query protocol for Windows? Could a remote printer open a dialog box on the user's screen to query for title page information and fax number? Or does this have to happen in the local Windows printer driver? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
