MORE INFORMATION

This update contains MSRMT.DLL, a replacement for the MSRMT.DLL file that is included with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows. This replacement file provides additional enhancements to the original MSRMT.DLL file, correcting the following problems:

External postoffices, SNADS DGNs, and nodes for PROFS and OfficeVision are not displayed in alphabetic order because Remote Mail for Windows reads them in one at a time and adds them to the address list hierarchy. With the updated version of MSRMT.DLL, Remote Mail for Windows reads in the external postoffices, SNADS DGNs, and PROFS nodes all at once, sorts them, and then adds them to the address list hierarchy.
The Windows Remote client may receive general-protection (GP) faults when it reads in a new message whose header within the .MAI file is greater than a certain length. The message is successfully downloaded from the postoffice to the Inbox .MBG file; however, it fails when it is read into the Mail message file (MMF). This problem has been fixed with version 3.2.4010 of MSRMT.DLL.
A message remaining in the Outbox could be misdirected if the remote address book was updated without uploading messages. The client will now check for the outbound messages prior to updating the address book. To ensure this fix works correctly, the following DLLs must be upgraded in conjunction with this DLL:
```
      MSRMTCN.DLL  version 3.2.4013
      MSRMTSU.DLL  version 3.2.4013
      MSRMTTR.DLL  version 3.2.4013
      MSRMTUI.DLL  version 3.2.4013
```

   MSRMT.DLL    (234,544 bytes, dated 6-15-95, 6:21 P.M.)
   README.TXT

To update your MSRMT.DLL file

Verify that the Microsoft Mail Remote driver (MSRMT.DLL) is the current driver in the Mail System Selector (MAILDRV.EXE) by running the Mail System Selector from the Windows Program Manager, selecting Microsoft Mail Remote, then choosing Set As Current Mail Driver.
At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER
```
      copy <path>:\msrmt.dll <destination>
```
where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting MSRMT.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your MSRMT.DLL file currently resides. For example, if you ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, and your MSRMT.DLL file is located in the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory on drive C, type the following command:
```
      copy d:\test\msrmt.dll c:\windows\system
```
