AWD File display

[Guest]

I am finally getting around to looking at some of my old FAXes from Windows
Messaging (95). These are stored in Outlook Express emails as an attachment
with an AWD extension. I associated this extension with Windows Picture and
Fax Viewer but when I try and view the files it says No Preview Available.

Would someone tell me what I am doing wrong or point me at some
instructions.

Thanks, Bill

If this is the same group as in msnnews.msn.com, I am sorry for the duplicate posting.

Microsoft provides a conversion utility on the Windows XP CD. Look under
i386\win9xmig\fax\awdvstub.exe. Run it with no command line arguments to get its
options. Use the /c command-line switch to convert an AWD file to a TIFF file.
If you want to run Awdvstub.exe from your local machine, rather than from the CD,
you'll also need to copy Faxtiff.dll.
