Subject:  Patch for BFPRO 3.02  

Product:  BitFax Professional for Windows
Version:  3.02 prior to 04/01/94

Synopsis:

1.  Poor conversion of waveform (.WAV) files into message files (.RIF).
    We have improved the conversion driver.

2.  When the Receive Manager detects a data call, it would load BitCom 
    too slowly.
    The Receive Manager will now immediately load BitCom after it 
    detects a data call. 

3.  When the Receive Manager is set up to play the voice/fax/data 
    selection message, and the users selects a data call by dialing a 3, 
    the Receive Manager would sometimes interput the 3 as a person 
    selecting a voice mailbox. 
    To solve this problem, the caller can now place the letter "D" at 
    the end of the data number (e.g., "(432) 555-9304,,,D"). The Receive 
    Manager will interpet the "D" dial tone (DTMF tone) as an 
    instruction to load BitCom. 

    Make sure the caller enters a long enough pause between the data 
    number and the "D." The length of the pause depends on the number of 
    rings the Receive Manager will wait for before answering. As a 
    general rule, callers should use a four-second pause, adding two-
    seconds to the pause for each ring. For example, if the Receive 
    Manager is set up to answer after the second ring, the caller should 
    enter an eight-second pause — four seconds plus two seconds for each 
    ring equals eight seconds. In most communications applications, a 
    comma represents a two-second pause. 

4.  When recording a message with a telephone handset, the Voice Manager 
    would sometimes suddenly disconnect during the recording.
    We have fixed this bug.

To install patch:

1.  Close all BitFax Professional programs.
2.  Copy the files to the \BFPRO directory.
3.  Restart Windows.

Please notify Bit Software Inc. if this does not solve all your 
problems, no matter how small.
