To the members of this Special Interest Group: I am looking for software, if it exists, which will take a file received (or prepared by) FAX software which comes with most FAX cards and will allow me to edit the file (slice horizontrally) in a manner such that I can create my own FAX "sandwich" from a number of horizontal strips. The reason for this is that I do not have (or desire) a scanner, but wish to send out letters under my letterhead and over my signature. The pieces will be put together from a received FAX of a signed blank letterhead I have had sent to me by a FAX service + the text specific to each letter. The received fax was cleaned up by converting to paintbrush (.PCX) format, fixing up, and reconverting to FAX format. Lacking this, could somebody point me to, or explain how fax's are stored on the PC? They are not exactly as prescribed in EIA RS465 and 466 documentation, since they contain headers, etc. although they are packed in modified Huffman code. Can you tell me the exact specification, or at least how it differs from RS465? Send replies either to this bulletin board or to me personally, GSRGAAO@TECHNION.BITNET Many thanks. David Tal
