Re: flexfax: Update of html documentation for pl2

[Ben Parker <ben@dha.unon.org>]

Sounds good.

1. Let's have the format of a faxmail attachment converter. This drove me
mad until a kind soul (David) read the c source to work it out. 

#!/usr/bin/bash
#This script will let the GIF image through but 
#will try to squeeze it on the same page
#/usr/local/sbin/faxmail/image/gif
giftopnm $1 | ppmtopgm | pnmtops -scale 20

There then remains a problem with fitting it to a separate page full size.
You will need to massage the Postscript output to prevent it appearing a
20th of its proper size in the bottom left-hand corner. I have just sent
an example to the mailing list.


2. I would also be happy to "contrib" my hybrid of Bob and Dirk's
faxmailer - works on Linux (RedHat 2.0.27 and others). Neither Bob nor
Dirk's really worked as advertized, but comprised the basis for the
hybrid, which is unpolished but works.
