- I'm writing a faxing application based on newswatcher code and have a
- question on the ascii translation of text files. When I send a
- postscript file to the fax daemon, some character translation takes
- place. If their is a copyright symbol in the file it gets converted
- to an ")". I noticed when quickmail sends a text file it converts
- the symbol to "(c)". Is this a standard or something? Is there
- some escape sequence I have to convert mac upper ascii characters
- to before I send the file via smtp? I'm a little worried on how this might
- effect the postscript code going across the net. Isn't postscript supposed
- to be ascii?
-
- Thanks
