(More customer reviews)WinFax PRO 4.0, Delrina
The Delrina WinFax PRO 4.0 software contians three manuals, a Quick Reference guide, and other pamphlets on extra-cost options (Fax Broadcast, Fax Mail Mailbox, etc.). [This company was bought up by Symantec in the late 1990s.] While this software was designed for Windows 3.1x it can be installed and used in Windows 95. The short 8.3file names remain. The software comes on four 1.44 floppy disks; be sure to make back-up copies on floppies, a hard drive, a ZIP disk, or a CD in case the data on the original disks goes bad afterwards. If this happens you won't be able to install it. The many manuals were simplified in future releases. They are mostly needed for reference.
The `Setup Guide' has the Product Registration Number needed for installation. The five chapters are: Overview, Preparing to Install or Upgrade WinFax, Installing WinFax, Troubleshooting, Getting Help. Appendix A has `Hardware/System Considerations'. There is an `Index' If you understand the COM - IRQ relationship you will have few problems. The internal fax/modem should be installed and turned on. You should disable hardware interrupt monitoring (IRQ) for your screen saver (After Dark 2.0, Windows 3.1). There are other warnings. Chapter 3 explains the Installation steps.
The `User's Guide' has fourteen chapters, a Glossary, Using WinFax With Your Mail System, and File Transfer Considerations. Chapter 14 contains Tutorials. Chapter 1 suggests two routes for learning: Scenic or Expressway. Chapter 3 tells about Sending Faxes, Chapter 4 about Receiving Faxes. You can view and annotate faxes (Chapter 5), or manage faxes and attachments (Chapter 6). Chapter 7 tells how to create and use phonebooks. Using Cover Pages is explained in Chapter 8. You can recognize and convert Faxes using OCR (Chapter 9). A Twain-compliant scanner can create images directly into WinFax PRO (Chapter 10). Chapter 11 explains how to use WinFax with other applications. You can change preferences in WinFax Setup (Chapter 12).
The `Cover Your Fax' manual shows the various cover sheets that are included for your use. You may customize them for your needs. [Your business may have a standard that you must use.]
I was a light user of this software. A one-page letter can contain more information that a conversation over the telephone given the same time. Businesses used fax machines for their simplicity and ease of use. Attachments to electronic mail compete with faxes, as they are stored after being sent. No `line busy' conditions.
