SYMPTOMS
========

If the RASDIAL utility is used to dial a non-existent entry on a non- English
version of Windows NT 4.0, the following is displayed:

  C:> rasdial bogus
  Error from RasGetEntryProperties = 623        <-------- Problem

  RAS-Fehler 623 - Telefoneintrag konnte nicht gefunden werden.

  Weitere Hilfe zu diesem Fehler erhalten Sie folgendermaszen:
          Geben Sie ein: 'winhlp32 rasphone.hlp'
          Wahlen Sie die Index-Seite in der Windows-Hilfe aus, und geben
          Sie dann
  ein: 'Fehler 623'

NOTE: The spelling of the following two words is changed from the original
spelling because the Knowledge Base cannot display some of the characters:

  folgendermaszen - the "sz" is used to represent the German
  alphabetic character "ess zeht."

  Wahlen - the letter "a" is used to represent the German alphabetic
  Character "a umlaut."

CAUSE
=====

This occurs because the text "Error from:" is hard-coded and not localized.
