Microsoft used the most current virus detection software available on the date of
posting to scan this file for viruses. Once posted, the file is housed on secure
servers that prevent any unauthorized changes to the file.

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

  OUTPOST.EXE (73,643 bytes, dated 06-06-95, 10:44 P.M.)
  README.TXT

To replace your OUTPOST.EXE file
--------------------------------

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

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

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

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