   LGTWPUT  EXE (100,229 bytes, dated 12-02-94,  4:01 P.M.)

To update your FFAPI executable files

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

   copy <path>:\*.exe <destination>

where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting GWPUT.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your FFAPI executable files currently reside. For example, if you ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D and your FFAPI executable files are located in the MAILEXE subdirectory on drive C, type the following command:

   copy d:\test\*.exe c:\mailexe

NOTE: Mail does not require that the FFAPI executable files be located in the MAILEXE directory. Also, the FFAPI executable files can be part of a third-party application. Make sure you check with the application developer before you update copies of the FFAPI executable files.
