This update includes the following modifications: - With the earlier version of this file, only FFAPI postoffices of service type equal to 100 were being processed when generating a RNETWORK.GLB file for remote users. ADMIN.EXE has been modified to include all FFAPI postoffices by checking for a service type that is greater than or equal to 100. - ADMIN.EXE was modified to increase the robustness when writing records to .XTN files. This helps prevent .XTN files from getting a corrupt record appended to them. To Replace Your ADMIN.EXE File ------------------------------ 1. Insert the enclosed WA0791 disk into your floppy disk drive. 2. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER copy :\admin.exe where is the floppy disk drive containing the WA0791 disk and is the drive and directory where your ADMIN.EXE files currently reside. For example, if ADMIN.EXE is located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C and the WA0791 disk is in drive A, type the following command: copy a:\ADMIN.EXE c:\mailexe A message will be displayed after executing each command stating: 1 file(s) copied. This indicates that your ADMIN.EXE file has been successfully replaced.
