If you want to load one of these formats please use the buttons in the main dialog of CoMa or the pull-down-menue "File" and activate the required format. You will get a file selection box and you can enter the name and the path of the required file.
 
This fax page will be displayed immediately on the monitor in a window. CoMa opens another window for every file. If fax window 1 is opened already the next file will be loaded into fax window 2 etc.
If you activate a window which has data in it, and then load a new file, this file will overwrite the original file in this window. Therefore, prior to loading a new file ensure that any acitve windows are closed, if you want to retain information in them.
Now some advice about the various formats CoMa supports:
Text
This function loads all files in ASCII format. CoMa operates a graphic convertion after loading and you see the text in a fax window.
Fax
This function is very useful for people who have switched from other systems, particularly Atari. These files were stored in a highly compressed fax format, via a driver which normally accompanies Atari programmes. CoMa for Mac users will support this highly compressed fax format and therefore saving you time in having to rewrite these previously formatted messages.
PICT 
Support of Macintosh graphic standard PICT enables you to create and send fax pages from nearly all programmes. CoMa scales the PICT to 200 dpi.
Clipboard support
You can copy the active fax page into the clipboard by pressing simultaneously ‚åò + C key and restore with ‚åò + V key. You can copy a graphic from the graphic programme into the active CoMa window the same way.
Save fax pages
Some customers requested the possibility to be able to load an incoming fax into a graphic programme and process it further. You find the command "Save as" in the pull-down-menu "file" to store the active page either as PICT or highly compressed faxpage (F??)!
