I need to decide on a FAX board for an MSDOS machine, where the
user uses Word Perfect to create documents.  Here's what I understand
so far...

If the user creates a document and prints it to disk using the HPII
printer driver, it will be saved as some sort of HP binary file (HPGL??).

Then, some program such as HIJAAK (the next version, due in 91) can be
used to convert the file to a bitmap and send it to the FAX card.

The goal, of course, is for pretty output with fonts of different sizes,
etc., to appear at the FAX machine at the other end.

HIJAAK offers one (real soon now) way of doing this.  What others
are there in the MSDOS world?
