Are there any decent FAX programs for IBM & compatibles?  I tried several
programs, and they stink.  Blastfax from US Robotics is still buggy...
I tried sending a fax the other day and for the date, it put
SeptemberOctoberNovember 9, 1992... I try Winfax Pro, and if this is the
best Windows fax program out there, then the PC is in big trouble.
Winfax Pro has the barest essential functions to send a fax.  The program
won't even let you preview a fax before sending it.  There are no desktop
publishing features in it.  You can't preview your coverpage at all, and
can only preview the other pages after it sends the fax (what's the point of
PREview?)
   Basically, I'm looking for a good FAX program that will let me compose
a fax very much like the way I would do it with paper.  For example, some
cut and paste features, using the mouse to draw lines and pictures on the
page, custom place .PCX and embed other graphic formats onto the page (kinda
like BBN Slate), place text where I want.  Basically, a fax program with
some desktop publishing features would be really nice...it doesn't have to
be Pagemaker quality, but at least have these basic features.  Composing
faxes should be easy...Winfax Pro makes it a chore. (Can't imagine what
regular Winfax is like...)
