Hello! Anyone know if there is such a thing as a DRIVER for
ventura that can convert directly to a FAX format (like
The Complete PC CFAX format)?
Anyone know what might be involved in trying to do this,
if one was to think that might be possible?
Thanks for any info!

This can then be converted with HiJaaK's convert program to a FAX format file. I think that you could also grab the Ventura screen with HotShot, another screen grabber utiltiy, and that would let you do the same thing. Either way, you will have to go through a couple of conversion steps to make a DPT fax output, but I think at this time there is no DIRECT method to output a fax file from Ventura. I hope this helps. -- Maurice Thaler SYSOP Audio Projects BBS (608) 836-9473 SYSOP Power Board BBS (608) 222-8842

I tried to send you the following message by e-mail, but it bounced
(host unknown).
GammaLink and QMS have jointly developed a product called GammaScript that
is used to convert PostScript files generated by desktop-publishing programs,
such as Ventura Publisher, into raster images that can be transmitted via
a GammaFax board from GammaLink. For more information, contact:

They can send you a sample fax. You will see that the quality of a computer-
generated fax image is much better than the quality of a scanned image.
My company, QMS, has a product called UltraScript PC that can convert
PostScript to either TIFF or PCX files at the "fine" fax resolution of
203x192 dpi. Most fax products for PCs accept one of these two formats.
