Hi Daniel:

I have upgraded to wine 9.22 without any change in the result. I have
exported to a bitmap successfully and can print it out. I would like to
understand why the viewer displays black. Can I email you the
miniviewer.exe file and a sample fax to have a look at. Any help would be
most welcome.

Cheers, Tom
