Hello Axel,
Sorry about the delay, I finally had a chance to look at the files you sent
me.
Based on what I received from you, I saw two problems.
(1) Did you send tif and ps files to TPC the same way as you sent them to me?
If you did, I am pretty sure it won't work. The two graphic files you sent me
were "attached" inside the body of the email message (technically this is
called "embedded" graphic files). The fax server treats all email body as text
file only and will not look for and analyze the graphic file inside the
body of
the email message. You have to attache the graphic files as an attachment to
the email message. To do this in Euodora, click Message and then click Attach
File, then pick the appropriate file and click Open. After you have done this,
you will find the selected filename will appear in the message header, under
"Attached:". When files are attached this way, they are attached to the email,
but separate from the body of the message and the fax server will be able to
analyze and process them.
When you see the following lines:

You know you file was embedded inside the body of the email message.
(2) The TIF file you sent me was properly prepared. I was able to view it with
me graphic file viewer. You shouldn't have any trouble sending it to a fax
server. However the PS file is a totally different story. The contents of a PS
file is in ASCII text characters and you should be able to load it into you
word processor and view it. The first few lines of a typical ps file looks
like
this:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Title: Graphic1
%%BoundingBox: 16 9 597 784
%%CreationDate: 12/27/97 17:23:32
%%Pages: 1
%%Requirements: None
%%LanguageLevel: 1
%%EndComments
But the ps file you sent me contains all binary values. The first 300 bytes
were zeros, then followed by '1B 45 1B 2A 6F .......'. If you import this file
to your word processor, you'll see some strange symbols, such as
'¬¿0w0w0w0w0w0w0'. I really can't tell what was wrong. My guess was that you
selected a printer driver other than a postscript printer driver.
Did you install the Apple Laserwriter II NT postscript printer driver? Did you
select it before you 'print to file'?
Hope you'll find the above helpful. Write to me again you need further
asistance. Meanwhile have a
Happy New Year !
