Dfax Tiff viewer query

Does anyone know of a freeware prog that'll display the TIFF files that come
through on DFax? PictureViewer & JPegViewer etc don't work (wrong sort of
tiff apparently - 1-bit or something), and I don't want to pay $69 for
Acordex DocView if possible.
Thanks for any help!

GC is shareware, not freeware

Interesting...
The two faxes I've received are both reported as either corrupt or incorrect
format. Demon support suggested downloading GraphicConverter 3.5.1 - no
difference

Anyone having similar problems?

Thanks. In fact what was holding me up was an incredibly annoying bug in 
Outlook Express that garbles attachments. No way round it, seemingly.

You could get an email client which isn't seriously broken :)

Downloaded latest version of this program but am getting an error
message when running it which says that there's not enough memory to
open the application (zero k needed zero k available).  I get this
regardless of the memory setup I use.  Any ideas?  I'm quite new to Macs
so maybe this is a generic problem?

Never had that myself. Perhaps your download was corrupted. GC is fine but a
bit much if you only want to view DFaxes - I now use the much leaner JFax
Communicator - do a web search to find their site, you can d/l it for free.

That's reasonable enough, but GrahicConverter is an excellent application
well worth having on any Mac, so I'd advise "surfsofa" to persevere with
it- not that I've ever found any trouble with it.

It's often on cover CDs on the Mac mags.
