   NOVELL.EXE   (284,338 bytes, dated 03-07-95, 4:45 P.M.)

To update your VMGATE.EXE file

Decide which executable file matches your configuration:

   Executable file   3270 emulation card supported
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   NOVELL.EXE        Novell NetWare 3270
   DCA_CUT.EXE       DCA CUT-mode
   DCA_DFT.EXE       DCA Non-CUT (DFT) mode
   IBM_HIGH.EXE      IBM High Level

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

   copy <path>:\VMGA.exe <destination>\vmgate.exe

where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self-extracting VMGA.EXE file, <destination> is the drive and directory where your VMGATE.EXE file currently resides, and VMGA is the corresponding executable file for your software vendor. For example, if you ran the self- extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, your VMGATE.EXE file is located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C, and you are using IBM High Level, type the following command and press ENTER:

   copy d:\test\IBM_HIGH.EXE c:\mailexe\vmgate.exe
