FaxLauncher Release Notes
------------------------------
The current release is version 3.00.10.01A Final Release.
The 10/21/96 build binaries are the same as 10/01/96 except for
the FSDELIV.EXE (Windows 95 Version) and FSDELV16.EXE.
The 10/21/96 build includes a fix to remove fax jobs from
the queue prior to sending. If problems occur during sending
the fax that was being sent will not be in the queue the next
time a fax is sent. However you can still print to the queue
while an initial fax is being sent. This means that faxes that
were queued while another fax was being sent to FaxSav will
remain in the queue. If you are unsure you can clear the queue
by deleting the FAXSAV.QUE file in the C:\FAXSAV\FAXDATA directory
The 10/01/96 build includes improvements to the faxSav
Internet Registration application as well as updated RSA logo
information.
This version supports DBCS for international versions
of Windows and Windows 95. (Japanese, Korean, ... versions
of Windows.
Various fixes to TCP/IP code fixing problems that occur
with the Netcom and Trumpet winsocks.
Improved error handling for low-memory conditions. If the
delivery executable fails to start during printing the
new faxjob is not left in the queue.
This version fixes the problem with Landscape Mode Faxes
(particulary from Microsoft Excel) that do not fax correctly.
0. Important Considerations for Successful Use of FaxLauncher
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. WINSOCK - The FaxLauncher software requires a WINSOCK
compliant TCP/IP Internet connection.
2. PROXY Servers/FIREWALLS - If your PC is on a LAN with a proxy
server or firewall then either
a) your server/software must be configured to allow outbound
SMTP communication for the FaxLauncher use. In order to use
the FaxLauncher registration utility to create a new registration
or update account information, the server/software must be
configured to allow two-way FTP communication.
b) run the FaxLauncher configuration utility to point FaxLauncher
to your Internet email gateway. Under this configuration,
registration and updating must be done offline via phone or fax.
See below for more information.
If you are unsure about these requirements ask your system
administrator.
4. Windows NT - Currently the FaxLauncher print driver does
not run in Windows NT. We do have plans to support Windows
NT in the future.

Dashes (-) are accepted in the fax number field, but no

information.

above. To be able to print to your paper printer, you need
to change your printer setup as in steps 1 to 6, except you
should choose the name of your paper printer instead
of FaxLauncher.
3. Gatewayed Delivery
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The default configuration for FaxLauncher attempts to deliver
the SMTP Fax message directly to one of our service gateway
hosts. This is intended to avoid lengthy mail gateways hops
and intermediate mail gateways imposing limits on message
length.
In some corporate LAN configurations it is not desirable to
allow direct SMTP traffic outside the firewall. You can
configure FaxLauncher to forward the fax message to an internal
mail gateway using the FaxLauncher Configuration Utility that was
installed on your PC.
You may need to consult your Internet administrator for this
information:
Domain Name Server
You may enter the name of your domain server. If you do not
provide one here, FaxLauncher will find a domain name server
if possible.
Primary Mail Gateway
You may enter the IP address of your primary email gateway here.
Secondary Mail Gateway
You may enter the IP address of your secondary email gateway
here, if you have one.
Alternative SMTP Port
If you are specifying an alternative SMTP route through your email
gateway, other than the commonly used ports, 23 or 25, then you
must specify the port used here.
4. Troubleshooting notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A. If you are experiencing time out errors while connecting to
FaxSav fax service, increase the time out threshold from the
default value of 20 seconds. Edit the FAXSAV.INI file found
in your Windows directory. Add or change the following
line:
TimeOutValue=30
B. The current version of FaxLauncher including bug fixes
is available at:
ftp://ftp.faxsav.com/pub/faxsav.exe
C. If you use a 16-Bit Winsock Implementation on Windows 95
and have not configured a 32-Bit Winsock, change the
UseDeliver entry in the DELIVERY section of faxSAV.INI
file to the value 16. This will cause FaxLauncher
to use the 16-Bit delivery system instead of the 32-Bit
delivery system.
;before
[DELIVERY]
Delivery32=c:\faxsav\FSDELIV.EXE
Delivery16=c:\faxsav\FSDELV16.EXE
UseDeliver=1
;after
[DELIVERY]
Delivery32=c:\faxsav\FSDELIV.EXE
Delivery16=c:\faxsav\FSDELV16.EXE
UseDeliver=16
D. If you are receiving password mismatch failure notices when
you send faxes. The FAXSAV.INI file contains a invalid
version of your password. If you know the correct password
you can solve this problem using the FaxLauncher
Configuration utility.
