John- > What we need is an ASCII output instead of binary. I agree. That's what I was thinking when I suggested a 'Print to File' function. The 'Save as Text' option in the Save function doesn't cut it for me. > When you tell your wordprocessor to print the document, the output to the > printer is intersepted by the GPFAX driver and re-directed to the Fax > format and finanly the out box. It does not print on the printer But the GPFAX driver (from what I understand in reading the reviews) does not allow you to use your printer while it is running. Hence, you can either send a fax document OR you can print a document – you cannot switch between without disabling the GPFAX driver. What I would like to see is something like what the AE Send-Fax system had… If you wish to send a document as a Fax, you select the 'Print to File' option and redirect the output to a FAX: device (Which you have previously set up). The software driver will then pop up a requester asking you for the number of the destination FAX machine, and will take it from there. While your fax is being transmitted (or whatever else has to be done) you can be printing out another document on your printer. Since the Amiga is such a versatile multitasking machine, it should (in theory) be able to do this without difficulty. Clear now? (^_^) Len Lekx [73300,723]
