SUMMARY
=======

The Simple Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) can be used on
Microsoft Windows NT and Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server in the following
configurations:

CONFIGURATION 1
---------------

Simple MAPI applications written for 16-bit Windows and Windows for Workgroups
Mail can be used with the 32-bit NT Mail client. There is a 16- bit MAPI.DLL
that "thunks" the 16-bit calls to the 32-bit MAPI32.DLL and requires no
additional 16-bit Mail files.

Configuration 2:

Windows NT includes MAPI32.DLL, a 32-bit Simple MAPI DLL for developing 32-bit
applications for the 32-bit NT Mail client.

Configuration 3:

In order for 16-bit MAPI applications to work with 16-bit Microsoft Mail
installed on Windows NT, you must copy the 16-bit MAPI.DLL that comes with
versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail into the WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory.

Additional query words: 3.00 3.00b 3.20
