Thanks Gerry,

I appreciate your response to my woes with Win Fax, if you go to this
page:

You will see that it addesses the exact trouble I am having. They
offer two files to fix the problem. One is free the other you have to
spend $20 to get for a 1 year membership. After the time and
aggravation I spent it's well worht $20 if the the file fixes the
thing!

It's a shame that we use systems that are so patched propped up to
make them run isn't it? It's like building a skyscraper on the
foundation of a bungalow! If something goes wrong we can't possilby
remember what we did to solve each individual problem, it may have
been months or years that we made the fix or installed the patch.

I hope you got to see the Lancaster Bomber fly over in commemeration
of the Dam Busters 617 Squadron raid on the dams in the Ruhr Valley. I
had a dear friend who was in the RAF and flew in Wellington Bombers,
the famous Wellington Wimpy. Sadly he's gone now but" still on
patrol." He loved those Wimpys they always got him home, I miss him to
this day..........

I am an amateur radio operator and Dan was my 13th contact ever using
Morse Code back in the '80's. We chatted almost every day for over 12
years and I got to know him better than my own father, he was a true
gentleman and a friend.

Take care many thanks,

Best Regards from the USA!

Joe
