You haven't got a handler for GIF files.  You should be able to put one
together with the portable bit map tools.  (See the faxmail man page.)

I don't believe there is a handler (i.e. a command line Word to PS convertor
for Unix).  If there is, it is very unlikely to be free software.  Word is
a proprietory format.  You will have to convert to an open standard in the
Microsoft world, e.g. print to file to a postscript printer (see other recent
articles about the correct options for this under Win '95).


One of the penalties for going a proprietory route, like Microsoft, is that
the vendor will try to lock you in to their products.
