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

This update contains the Microsoft Mail Connection Name Utility (CNU)
application for the Macintosh, a replacement file for the Mail Connection CNU
application included with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and
AppleTalk Networks. This update includes the following modifications:

- The CNU no longer increments the T3 date upon startup if there are no
  directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) messages waiting in the Network
  Manager's mailbox to be processed.


- The CNU no longer reports "Bad Message Class" when a template is sent from
  the Dir-Sync server. The template information (which cannot be displayed by
  the AppleTalk Mail workstation) is now ignored when the CNU processes the
  update.

Microsoft scanned this file for viruses. Microsoft used the most current
virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was
posted. The file is stored on secure servers that prevent any unauthorized
changes to the file.

To update your CNU file
-----------------------

NOTE: The CNU file is in a self-extracting (.SEA) archive format as well as in
Bin-Hex (.HQX) format to allow you to use an MS-DOS- formatted disk. To access
the updated CNU file, you need to decode the file using a utility such as
StuffIt or Compact Pro. These utilities can be found on most major bulletin
boards.

From an IBM or compatible computer
----------------------------------

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

  "copy <drive>:\cnuupd.hqx <destination>" (without the quotation
  marks)

  where <drive> is the drive and directory where you downloaded the
  CNUUPD.HQX file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your
  postoffice currently resides. For example, if you downloaded the file to the
  TEST directory on drive D and the postoffice is located in the MAILDATA
  directory on drive C, type the following command:

  "copy d:\test\cnuupd.hqx c:\maildata" (without the quotation marks)

2. From the gateway server Macintosh, mount the postoffice volume (the volume
  may already be mounted for gateway access) and copy the CNUUPD.HQX file to
  the Macintosh's hard disk.

3. From the Macintosh used to run the CNU, use one of the decoding utilities,
  such as StuffIt or Compact Pro, to decode the file into its original format
  by doing the following:

  NOTE: Both utilities will generate a Macintosh-formatted file called
  CNUUPD.SEA in the same location as the original file.

   - To use StuffIt: From the Other menu, choose Bin-Hex. Then select Decode
     Bin-Hex File.

     -or-

   - To use Compact Pro: From the Misc menu, choose Convert FROM BinHex4.

4. The CNUUPD.SEA file is a self-extracting archive file. Double-click the icon
  to extract the updated CNU application.

5. Copy the extracted CNU application to the location of the previous version of
  the CNU.

From an Apple Macintosh
-----------------------

1. If you download CNUUPD.SEA, go to step 2.

  If you download the .HQX file, use one of the decoding utilities, such as
  StuffIt or Compact Pro, to decode the file into its original format by doing
  the following:

   - To use StuffIt: From the Other menu, choose Bin-Hex. Then select Decode
     Bin-Hex File.

     -or-

   - To use Compact Pro: From the Misc menu, choose Convert FROM BinHex4.

  NOTE: Both utilities will generate a Macintosh file called CNUUPD.SEA in the
  same location as the original file.

2. Copy the CNUUPD.SEA file to the CNU machine. Double-click it to extract the
  CNU application.

3. Copy the extracted CNU application to the location of the previous version of
  the CNU.
