ASCII to Fax Conversion Utility (asctog3)

ASCII to Fax Conversion Utility (asctog3)
Converts ASCII text files to Brooktrout Group 3 fax image files.
Although this utility is included, in most cases ASCII file
transmission is better accomplished utilizing the ability of the
Brooktrout fax modules to convert ASCII to G3 on-the-fly. This is a
legacy utility.
