Sounds neat. NOw if someone knew how the OS/2 printer and spooler stuff
worked, GhostScript could be squished in between the OS/2 postscript driver,
and the spooler, and the FAx stuff. That way all you do is select print
from any application. and OS/2 will do the PostScript thing, then ghostscript
will generate the FAX. GhostScript for OS/2 also has a preview and other
stuff.
