SUMMARY
=======

All of the programs that are able to generate a piece of electronic mail must be
able to open the CONTROL.GLB file in read/write mode. Because this file is used
to generate all mail and attachment files, it should be opened and updated as
quickly as possible.

All Microsoft Mail clients, ADMIN.EXE, EXTERNAL.EXE, FFAPI, and Gateway programs
will use this file to generate filenames.
