Re: flexfax: Error: /undefined in 8,27 PageWidth

[RICK_@t-online.de (JRGEN ANZER)]

Thanks Robert,

but I only got the "binary"-distibution ...

But - due to your hint - I did a "# strings textfmt" and realized, that
the PageWidth is defined here close to some language definitions like
"english_us.ascii".

I changed my locale settings in .profile to "LANG=english_us.ascii" and

everything goes FINE! Just sent my first faximile with the HylaFAX
package!
GREAT software!

Thanks to all who had helped me. Thank you.

best regards
