Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3,0, 3.00a, 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

In the Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1, Lan Fax Redirector for Windows appends an extra extension to the filename if you retry to save a file to nonexistent path. For example, after trying to save FILE.TXT a few times, the filename is listed as FILE.TXTTXTTXT

To correct this problem, double-check the filename before saving the file.

This problem occurs in both Windows 3.0 and 3.1.
