Thompson, a former IBM executive in sales, marketing and development, replaced Gordon Eubanks as Symantec's CEO. WinFax PRO 10, released in February 2000, was the last major version of WinFax PRO to be developed.

It was the first Delrina product designed to work with the Windows 95 operating system, and was a full 32-bit application, setting it apart from its competition at the time. There was no intervening version 5.0 or 6.0, and the jump to version 7.0 was purely a marketing decision, based on keeping up with Microsoft's suite of Office products which were then at the same number. The final Delrina-made version of WinFax was WinFax PRO 7.0, which shipped in November 1995. In January 1995 The New York Times called WinFax 'the leader in fax software with two-thirds of the market.' By mid-1995, 'more than 10 million copies of WinFax' were sold (worldwide). This program would later be bundled with subsequent versions of WinFax and the CommSuite 95 product.

The company created a product called TalkWorks, which enabled users to use certain fax/modems as a voice mail client. In 1994 the firm acquired AudioFile, a company that specialized in computer-based voice technology. This version of the product was also bundled with a grayscale scanner manufactured by Fujitsu, and sold as WinFax Scanner. It was soon followed by a networked version of the same product, which allowed a number of users to share a single fax modem on a networked system. It also included for the first time the ability to integrate directly with popular new email products such as cc:Mail and Microsoft Mail. It introduced an improved OCR engine, introduced improvements aimed specifically at mobile fax users, better on-screen fax viewing capabilities and a focus on consistency and usability of the interface. The release of WinFax PRO 4.0 in March 1994 brought together a number of key features and technologies. This version of this product saw long life as a 'non-PRO' version that was bundled with various fax modems by the end of its product cycle. This was followed by a version for Macintosh systems. WinFax PRO 3.0 was launched in November 1993 for Windows 3.x machines. While the 200DPI was not as smooth as the (max) 300DPI offered by high-end laser printers, it was generally superior to dot matrix. By connecting to a regular phone line, or to an office/hotel room phone via an adapter, a user could send a document to a fax machine (in an era when nearly all business class hotels had a fax machine at the front desk, but very few offered printers for guest use).

WinFax was frequently used by business travelers as an ad hoc printer. By 1994, almost 100 companies were bundling versions of WinFax, including IBM, Compaq, AST Research, Gateway 2000, Intel and Hewlett-Packard. All of this rapidly established WinFax as the de facto fax software.

Those wanting more robust features were encouraged to upgrade to the 'PRO' version, and were offered significant discounts over the standalone retail version. Robotics and Supra that bundled simple versions of the product (called 'WinFax LITE') that offered basic functionality. The company made further inroads by establishing tie-ins with modem manufacturers such as U.S. The Windows versions were also localized to major European and Asian languages. Versions were also created for the Apple Macintosh ('Delrina Fax Pro') and DOS ('DosFax'). Several versions of WinFax were released over the next few years, initially for Windows 3.x and then a Windows 95-based version. The rapid acceptance of this program in the market soon overtook that of the initial forms product in terms of revenues, and within a few years of its launch, WinFax would account for 80% of the company's revenues. This interest convinced Delrina of the commercial viability of the product. In 1990 Delrina devoted a relatively small space to WinFax at that year's COMDEX, where it easily garnered the most attention of any Delrina product being demonstrated at that show.

Delrina started out by producing a set of electronic form products known as PerForm and later, FormFlow. The product was created by developer Tony Davis at Toronto-based Delrina in 1990, and soon became the company's flagship product. WinFax (also known as WinFax PRO) is a discontinued Microsoft Windows-based software product designed to let computers equipped with fax- modems communicate directly to stand-alone fax machines, or other similarly equipped computers.
