I have had a few computer crashes and over the years have lost the indices
of various Winfax directories. Whenever I have changed computers I have
always copied the backed up data directories. Occasionally I have managed
to back up to .fxa files and have restored those but I still have those
un-indexed data directories containing the fxs and fxr files (and probably
the contents of cover pages when I used them).

I cant imagine there can be any way of restoring the indices: Is there any
program which can read or produce thumbnails of the contents of those
directories or automatically print every page in them please?

I suspect I will have to print the pages and then scan them into some format
whereby I can zip them up and e-mail them en masse.

The files were created between about 1995 and 2004 and as far as I can
understand, I can only VERY LABORIOUSLY look at each page of each fax
individually. There are hundreds of pages (possibly thosands) and the steps
to look at them in WinFaxPro 10 are unbelievably slow

there are programs that can convert your fax files to other formats such as
PDF or TIFF
here is a link http://www.getfaxing.com/products.htm
once as a TIFF image, I am sure you can use just about any imaging program
to do what you want to do to organize the images.
