Try Tascal Fax Viewer at
http://www2r.biglobe.ne.jp/~tascal/index_e.htm. It works fine, and
it's free.

Alans, I didn't say Resco Explorer, but Resco Picture Viewer. It's a Image
viewer program, made by the same company.

Yes, I have the software that can do it, and use it.

I've looked at a couple of received single page faxes- KB, 40, 30, 67, 71
etc.
One 4 page fax is about 279KB.

I use supervoice, which uses proprietary formats. taking a 70k fax image in
that format,
This page is a 470kb Black and White tif file. This is a 3 column layout
full page, like newspaper print.
(total page 1728 x 2300 pixels, 1 bit per pixel [black and white]- page size
and 200 dpi- around 8.6 inches by 11.5 inches)

The thing to bear in mind is watch how much space gets taken up by saved tif
files.

True... but it is definitely smaller than a full color image TIFF.

Anyway, fax TIFF has been quite a standard and while it may be considered
relatively large if you receive 5 page faxes, these TIFF files can be saved
into the Storage Card. KSE Software, the makers of Truefax know this and
have added a How-to section on how you can move the Received Fax folder into
a storage card.

It's shareware, but I looked in several places and could not see a price
or how to make the payment... where did I miss that info?

(tip... don't open the "registration" screen or you will have to soft
reset to restart the program ;-)

Actually have a couple of other tascal programs registered... will look
for the info associated with those.

Thanks,
