  Instructions for using updated Visual FoxPro for Windows Foxmapi.fll and
  Foxmap16.dll files
**************************************************************************

Running Vfpmapi.exe creates the following files:

  Readme.txt   - Instructions and Limitations of Use
  Foxmapi.fll  - DLL interface to Mapi.dll and Splus.dll
  Foxmap16.dll - Thunking layer for use on 16-bit operating systems
  Foxmapi.hlp  - Help file on the use of functions in FOXMAPI

Instructions
------------

Place both the .fll and .dll files in your application directory. If your
application will only be used on 32-bit operating systems, Foxmap16.dll is
not required.

To load Foxmapi.fll in your program, use this command:

  SET LIBRARY TO foxmapi ADDITIVE

All functions provided in the Foxmapi.fll are now available.

Limitations of Use
------------------

The following restrictions are necessary for FOXMAPI to function correctly:

- FOXMAPI will only interface to Microsoft Mail, version 3.2 (both 16- and
  32-bit). FOXMAPI cannot be used as an interface to Microsoft Exchange,
  provided with Windows 95.

- FOXMAPI cannot interface with Microsoft Mail version 3.2 or Schedule+
  version 1.x under Windows 95.

- Testing is not yet complete to determine whether FOXMAPI can interface
  successfully to 32-bit Schedule Plus available with Windows NT.
