Problem

When using the IBM FAX/Modem Software for an IBM PS/2 Notebook computer. When the file is sent or viewed from this Software, the WP characters appear as garbage.

Answer:

The problem is due to the type of Software being used for this Fax Modem. It is a very generic package, that can only read ASCII (DOS) Text files. As a workaround to this problem the file can be exported out in WP51 using the Text In/Out feature. This should allow the file to be correctly viewed in the Fax Software.

Details:

When the WP files are brought into this program, the program is not able to recognize the codes and as such shows them as Garbage type characters.
