Hi Ray, et al,

This just came over my newsfeed, and it partially addresses some of your compression question. I left the political whine in the message just to breed discontent---NeXTSTEP does have smooth solutions.

I am looking for a program that can convert NeXSTEP .fax files, or group 3 or 4 faxes, to TIFF of PICT so that I can do some Macintosh OCR on them. For some reason, all of these Mac apps don't do group 3 or 4 faxes.

The closed-system mentality of the Mac world is sometimes ridiculous.
