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...) -- | Internet: hsiaoe@rpi.edu > Read GIF News - a freely copied news < | | Bitnet: userHA6G@rpitsmts.bitnet > magazine in .GIF file format.
