RE: flexfax: How to limit compressoion to 1-D ?

["Andrew Radke" <radke@iig.com.au>]

As of Win98 it is Kodak Imaging as opposed to Wang Imaging which is why I
called it only 'Imaging'. I have so far found it to be able to read any fax
that is sent without any hassles.

As for PSP I use v5 and it doesn't get the vertical resolution right at all
and is therefore useless so I wouldn't expect an earlier version to work
(but you never know, considering it is windows software). Do you have access
to Corel PhotoPaint. I have v7 and it has been able to read everything I
throw at it but only the first page.

Last but not least. If you use tiff2ps on the Linux box is it then viewable
in Ghostview? This is a last resort that has _never_ failed me. In fact I
have just about had enough of tiff files and when I have time will modify
the faxrcvd script to convert the tiffs to ps and dump the original tiff.

Hope this helps in some way. Let me know how it goes.

Andrew Radke.
