Actually, Symantec issued version 10.03 that supposedly dealt with WinXP issues.
I have version 10.02, which ran perfectly on my Win2K system but I never
installed it after upgrading to WinXP Pro.
FWIW, Symantec also issued a 10.04 update (patch) for version 10.02 and 10.03.
Yes, Delrina was the original developer/author of Winfax. I had the Delrina
suite of utilities which included winfax 3 (or maybe it was 4). Initially
Symantec didn't do much to Winfax's code (thank goodness) that's why a lot of
Delrina entries are found in the registry and elsewhere in the program settings.
Here's an old link for info about the 10.04 update:
