I thought that, but i couldn't get the fax2tiffd working, and was going to try
g3tolj, then ljtotiff or some other combination.

Thankfully i managed to get fax2tiff not to come up with errors on every scan line,
i didn't know i needed the -M option for MSB2LSB, i got it working last night, it
now work great, i've now just got to get is to mail it to me, which i think i've
sorted.

Thanks very much for your help.
