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

This update contains FAXGTW.EXE, a replacement for the FAXGTW.EXE file that is
included with version 3.0a of Microsoft Mail Gateway to Fax. This update
resolves problems with the Gateway to Fax generating invalid mail messages. The
following two types of messages were corrected:

- Incoming fax messages (a message with a fax attachment).

- Fax Delivery Status Report messages (a message sent to the sender of an
  outgoing fax message indicating whether or not the fax message was sent)

The Fax gateway generates the following error messages, which are sent from the
POSTMASTER mailbox account:

- From the MS-DOS client:

  Notice 142
  This message is corrupt and can not be accessed.
  Contact your administrator.

- From the Windows client:

  ===== MAIL SYSTEM ERROR =====
  Mail could not read the entire message from the postoffice.
  Some of the parts of the message may be missing. Ask the sender to resend the
  message.

Microsoft used the most current virus detection software available on the date of

servers that prevent any unauthorized changes to the file.

After you download FAXGTW.EXE to a clean directory, run it (by typing "faxgtw"
(without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS prompt) to extract the contents of
the file. You should receive the following files:

  FAXGTW.EXE (139,686 bytes, dated 08-27-93, 11:17 A.M.)
  README.TXT

To update your FAXGTW.EXE file
------------------------------

At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER

  " copy <path>:\faxgtw.exe <destination>" (without the quotation
  marks)

where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting
FAXGTW.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your
FAXGTW.EXE file currently resides. For example, if you ran the self- extracting
file from the TEST directory on drive D, and your FAXGTW.EXE file is located in
the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the following command:

  " copy d:\test\faxgtw.exe c:\mailexe" (without the quotation marks)
