WinFax

WinFax was a popular fax software program for Microsoft Windows-based computers. Developed by Delrina (later acquired by Symantec), WinFax allowed users to send and receive faxes directly from their computer, eliminating the need for a dedicated fax machine for many tasks. It gained significant prominence in the late 1980s and 1990s as personal computers became increasingly prevalent in offices and homes.

WinFax operated by utilizing a fax modem installed in the computer. Documents for faxing could be created in other Windows applications, then "printed" to the WinFax printer driver, which would convert the document into a format suitable for fax transmission. The software provided features such as phonebook management for storing frequently used fax numbers, cover page creation, and scheduling of faxes for later transmission. Received faxes could be viewed, printed, and managed within the WinFax interface.

While WinFax was a leading fax software solution for many years, its popularity declined with the increased adoption of email and the rise of internet-based fax services. These technologies offered alternative methods for document transmission that were often more convenient and cost-effective. Support for WinFax has been discontinued, and it is no longer widely used.
