SYMPTOMS
========

Section E.10, "Associating Applications and Files Extensions," in the README.TXT
file for version 3.0 or 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, OS/2
workstation, contains an error.

The second sentence of the first paragraph in section E.10 incorrectly states:

  To do this, add a section to the WIN.INI file in your OS2/SYSTEM directory.

The WIN.INI file is located in the OS2\DLL directory, not, as stated above, in
the OS2\SYSTEM directory.

======

3.0 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. This problem was corrected in the
README.TXT file for version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks (section F.9).
