I need to send various documents via faxmodem. Some of the documents
have PostScript-based graphics in them, from Aldus Freehand or Dreams
(pictscript). The text looks great because I have ATM, but the graphics
aren't so hot.
Is there software available which can make an Abaton InterFax 24/96 act
like a PostScript printer (actually, that just means to generate a fax
format compressed bitmap file from pict, PS, and text while printing)?
I thought Freedom of the Press might do it, but the manufacturer says
it has to understand the destination device and hasn't been taught
about faxmodems yet. Maybe next year.
I need the software for a Mac II. What I'd really like is a version of
ATM which does more than text, like full display postscript...
