Has anyone out there got a program that converts compressed fax images (Modified Huffman coding defined in CCITT T.4) into a format suitable for displaying under X (gif, I presume). -- Paul Bennett | | "I give in, to sin, because Dialogic Corp. | paul@dialogic.UUCP | You have to make this life 129 Littleton Road | ..!uunet!dialogic!paul | livable" Parsippany, NJ 07054 | | Martin Gore

Try using the PBM+ converters ... g3topbm fax.file | pbmtoxwd | xwud seems appropriate. ("g3topbm" converts from the Group 3 FAX format which is supposedly CCITT T.4) >While were at it we might as well ask for a program to FAX an X11 window? okay .. how about xwd | xwdtopbm | pbmtog3 | your_fax_machine Richard 8-}

The latest pbm routines have a g3topbm and pbmtog3 set
of programs. (g3 == Group III). They seem to do the
trick.
Speaking of pbm, has anyone got the pcxtopbm program to
work properly? I have tried a number of different .pcx
files produced by various PC paint programs, and they all
produce garbage when displayed under X. Them Mac routines
work great. (as do the g3 ones)
