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.

Additional query words: 3.00 3.10
