Delrina WinFax PRO Update        README Notes        March 4, 1996
==================================================================
The following information reflects changes made for this update to 
WinFax PRO 7.0, dated March 4, 1996. You should review this 
information prior to installing and running the update.

This document also describes changes made since the first edition 
of the Delrina WinFax PRO User's Guide and Getting Started guide 
went to press. Where applicable, these notes refer to specific 
sections in the manual.


Patching WinFax PRO 7.0
=======================

You do not need to remove or uninstall your current version of 
WinFax PRO 7.0 to install the update. Your current version of 
WinFax will be updated, including your phonebooks and logs.

However, if you update WinFax PRO 7.0 and then add TalkWorks later, 
you should run the update again to ensure that you have a version 
of TalkWorks designed to work with this release of WinFax.

To update WinFax PRO 7.0, run the setup program (SETUP.EXE) on 
disk #1.


What's New in WinFax
====================

This update resolves a wide variety of problems and performance 
issues. The main areas of improvement are:

- time needed to load WinFax programs, print from another program 
  to send a fax, retrieve and update phonebook and log information
- conversion of WinFax PRO 4.0 cover pages and phonebooks
- DDE issues with PIM phonebooks such as ACT! and Maximizer
- functionality in the Send dialog
- support for Mustek and HP Deskscan v2.3 scanners
- new Word 7.0 and Excel 7.0 macros

WinFax Fast Start
-----------------
Fast Start speeds up the faxing process by loading a streamlined 
version of WinFax designed for sending faxes only. With Fast Start 
running, you can print to WinFax to send a fax faster, and any 
faxes you have scheduled are sent at the appropriate times. This 
release of WinFax PRO 7.0 adds the WinFax Fast Start icon to 
the Startup group.

Note: You cannot receive faxes automatically using Fast Start. You 
must have WinFax or CommBar running or minimized.

To send a fax without opening WinFax:
1. Right click the WinFax Fast Start icon.
2. Click Send Fax. The WinFax Send dialog appears.
3. Address your fax, including any attachments and a cover page.
4. Click Send.

To open the main WinFax window from the WinFax Fast Start icon, 
right click the icon and click Start WinFax 7.0. When you close 
WinFax, WinFax Fast Start will automatically be reloaded.

You can also close WinFax Fast Start from the right click menu. 
Exit Fast Start before uninstalling or reinstalling WinFax.

Quick View
----------
Use Quick Fax Viewer to view and print faxes and attachments 
(files with .FX? extensions) from Windows Explorer or your Windows 
desktop. To view a file in Quick Fax Viewer, right click on it and 
then select Quick View from the menu. 

If nothing happens, you may not have Quick View enabled in Windows 
95. To enable Quick View:

1. On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings and click Control 
   Panel. The Control Panel folder opens.
2. Double click Add/Remove Programs. The Add/Remove Programs 
   Properties dialog appears.
3. Click the Windows Setup tab.
4. In the Components list, click Assessories.
5. Click the Details button.
6. In the Components list, enable Quick View and click OK. The 
   Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog reappears.
7. Click OK. You may be prompted for your Windows 95 CD.

Save Folder Tree State on Exit
------------------------------
Enable this option on the Program Properties dialog if you only want 
WinFax to refresh the last phonebook you accessed in the Phonebook 
panel of the Send dialog. This may improve the speed at which the 
Send dialog appears. If you disable this option, WinFax refreshes 
all existing phonebooks when you display the Send dialog.

Always Launch WinFax When Printing From Another Application
-----------------------------------------------------------
Enable this option to start the full WinFax program when you print 
to WinFax from another application. Otherwise, WinFax Fast Start 
starts. Disabling this option may improve printing speed.


Getting Information Electronically
==================================

Online help can provide you with detailed information when you need 
it most -- while you are using WinFax. To get procedural help, click 
the Help Topics command on the Help menu. For context-sensitive 
information, use the What's This? "?" button at the top of any dialog.

This release also updates the WinFax online help. In cases where the 
online help and the manuals differ, the online help is more up-to-date.

Updated information is also made available in the form of technical 
notes on the Delrina Web site, the Delrina BBS and through 
CompuServe. Refer to the "Getting Help" chapter of your Getting 
Started guide for details on accessing these information services.

Accessing the CompuServe Forum
------------------------------
Online support for Delrina products on CompuServe has been moved to
the Symantec forum. Enter GO SYMANTEC.


General
=======

Call discrimination
-------------------
If you have a Class 1, Windows (TAPI) modem that supports call 
discrimination, WinFax can recognize and handle both data and fax 
calls. To accept data calls, do the following:

- enable Direct Data Calls in the WinFax Receive Properties dialog
- run or minimize a data program, such as WinComm or PC ANYWHERE in 
  host mode
- run or minimize WinFax with Automatic Reception enabled

If you are upgrading from the October 31, 1995 version of WinFax 
and you want to use call discrimination, you must remove your modem 
and then add it again from the Modem Properties dialog. (On the 
Setup menu, click Modem.) Removing and adding your modem resets your 
existing modem settings to their defaults.

Sending WinFax PRO 4.0 cover pages
----------------------------------
Certain WinFax PRO 4.0 cover pages may cause transmission to train 
down or fail part way through sending the cover page. If you have this 
problem, disable High Speed Compression (2D) on the Fax tab of your 
Modem Properties dialog. To display this dialog, click Modem on the 
Setup menu, select your modem and click Properties.

Modem does not Wait for bong
----------------------------
Not all modems support the "Wait for bong" feature for credit card 
dialing. To work around this use the "Wait" option and adjust the wait 
time as required.

Importing logs into a new message store
---------------------------------------
If you are creating a new message store to hold imported log
records, disable the Compress Fax Messages option. 

Using WinFax with a CAS modem
-----------------------------
If you use WinFax PRO 7.0 with a CAS modem, contact the modem
vendor or manufacturer to ensure that you have the appropriate
CAS drivers for Windows 95.

Using WinFax on an IBM ThinkPad with an IBM Mwave modem
-------------------------------------------------------
WinFax requires version 2.0 or later of the Mwave modem software.

Disk space requirements for receiving faxes
-------------------------------------------
WinFax requires a minimum of 1 MB of free disk space to receive 
faxes. If your computer does not meet this requirement, WinFax 
displays the following error message:  "Disk is full. Unable to 
receive faxes." Free up at least 1 MB of disk space, close any 
other programs and ask the sender to resend the fax.

Fine tuning the WinFax Printer Driver for grayscale faxing
----------------------------------------------------------
If you are sending a fax that contains grayscale images, you
may improve the appearance of the fax by adjusting the settings
for the WinFax printer driver. On the Graphics tab, select Error 
Diffusion and set the Intensity at approximately 175.

Using the Delrina WinFax Scanner
--------------------------------
If you already have a WinFax scanner, you will need additional
files in order to use it with WinFax PRO 7.0. If you have the CD 
version of CommSuite 95, you can install these files from the 
Setup Welcome screen. The files are also available from the 
Delrina Web site, the Delrina BBS or on CompuServe.

Using WinFax macros
-------------------
For more information on using WinFax macros, see the WFXMACRO.TXT
file in the directory in which you installed WinFax. 

Retrieving BFT events from a remote fax station
-----------------------------------------------
In order to poll a remote fax station for BFT events, ECM must 
be enabled on both the polling computer and the remote fax station.

PackRat 4.0 phonebook does not open in WinFax
---------------------------------------------
If you cannot open the PackRat phonebook in WinFax, check that 
the path specification in the [Polaris PackRat 4.0] section of your 
WIN.INI file is correct.

Expanding and collapsing folders
--------------------------------
Use the plus and minus keys on your keyboard to expand and collapse 
folders in WinFax. You can also do this in the phonebook list in the 
Send Fax wizard.

Copying column headings
-----------------------
You can now copy column heading settings between folders in the Logs 
or Phonebooks window. To copy headings, right click in the folder 
list and select the Copy Headings command. Use this feature to quickly 
and easily format the way folder information appears.


Delrina WinFax PRO User's Guide

DELFIX.EXE. If you want to optimize your database, run this file with 
the "-OPTIMIZE" command line parameter.
