Thanks to everyone who replied to this plea.  I eventually discovered that I could load the original GIF direct into Wordworth, scale to a reasonable size, then print out using the GPFax driver.  GPFax then converted the fax into an ILBM image, which I could edit in DPaint.

ArtEffect was failing because it tried to load the pic as a 24-bit image for editing, so even a modest size 2-colour image took up more RAM than I have, as 24-bit.

Problem solved, now back to work...

Happy New Year to you all!

Ian
