SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Mail (PC Client) versions 2.00 and 3.00 support TOPS/DOS version 2.1
or later. For Mail to run correctly under TOPS/DOS 2.1, you must load the
following TOPS/DOS 2.1 software modules:

  Modules        Description
  -------        -----------

  ALAP.EXE       (Version 2.102 or later) -- the TOPS AppleTalk
                 driver. It allows the TOPS FlashCard to provide a
                 communication interface between the PC and the
                 AppleTalk network. It is recommended that you
                 install the ALAP driver at software interrupt
                 address 60 with the switch /INT=60.

  PSTACK.EXE     (Version 2.102 or later) -- the TOPS Protocol Stack
                 driver.

  TOPSPAP.EXE    (Version 2.01.01 or later) -- the TOPS Printer
                 Access Protocol driver.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The ALAP.EXE and PSTACK.EXE software modules are provided on the TOPS/DOS 2.1
distribution disks or with version 2.1 TOPS FlashCards on the TOPS FlashCard
Driver disk.

TOPSPAP.EXE can be found only on the TOPS FlashCard Driver disk provided with the
TOPS FlashCard. Older TOPS FlashCards (earlier than version 2.1) contain
versions of TOPSPAP.EXE that are incompatible with Mail for the PC versions 2.00
and 3.00.

If you have an older TOPS FlashCard, you can receive the latest version of
TOPSPAP.EXE by contacting Sitka Customer Support at (415) 549-8737. TOPSPAP.EXE
version 2.01.01 can be obtained by requesting the TOPS/DOS 2.1 Supplemental
Drivers disk.
