MORE INFORMATION

This update contains the Microsoft Mail Connection Name Utility (CNU) application for the Macintosh, a replacement file for the Mail Connection CNU application included with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Connection for PC and AppleTalk Networks. This update includes the following modifications:

  • The CNU no longer increments the T3 date upon startup if there are no directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) messages waiting in the Network Manager's mailbox to be processed.


  • The CNU no longer reports "Bad Message Class" when a template is sent from the Dir-Sync server. The template information (which cannot be displayed by the AppleTalk Mail workstation) is now ignored when the CNU processes the update.

To update your CNU file

NOTE: The CNU file is in a self-extracting (.SEA) archive format as well as in Bin-Hex (.HQX) format to allow you to use an MS-DOS- formatted disk. To access the updated CNU file, you need to decode the file using a utility such as StuffIt or Compact Pro. These utilities can be found on most major bulletin boards.

From an IBM or compatible computer

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

    copy <drive>:\cnuupd.hqx <destination>

    where <drive> is the drive and directory where you downloaded the CNUUPD.HQX file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your postoffice currently resides. For example, if you downloaded the file to the TEST directory on drive D and the postoffice is located in the MAILDATA directory on drive C, type the following command:

    copy d:\test\cnuupd.hqx c:\maildata


  2. From the gateway server Macintosh, mount the postoffice volume (the volume may already be mounted for gateway access) and copy the CNUUPD.HQX file to the Macintosh's hard disk.


  3. From the Macintosh used to run the CNU, use one of the decoding utilities, such as StuffIt or Compact Pro, to decode the file into its original format by doing the following:

    NOTE: Both utilities will generate a Macintosh-formatted file called CNUUPD.SEA in the same location as the original file.

    • To use StuffIt: From the Other menu, choose Bin-Hex. Then select Decode Bin-Hex File.


    • -or-

    • To use Compact Pro: From the Misc menu, choose Convert FROM BinHex4.




  4. The CNUUPD.SEA file is a self-extracting archive file. Double-click the icon to extract the updated CNU application.


  5. Copy the extracted CNU application to the location of the previous version of the CNU.


From an Apple Macintosh

  1. If you download CNUUPD.SEA, go to step 2.

    If you download the .HQX file, use one of the decoding utilities, such as StuffIt or Compact Pro, to decode the file into its original format by doing the following:

    • To use StuffIt: From the Other menu, choose Bin-Hex. Then select Decode Bin-Hex File.


    • -or-

    • To use Compact Pro: From the Misc menu, choose Convert FROM BinHex4.




    NOTE: Both utilities will generate a Macintosh file called CNUUPD.SEA in the same location as the original file.


  2. Copy the CNUUPD.SEA file to the CNU machine. Double-click it to extract the CNU application.


  3. Copy the extracted CNU application to the location of the previous version of the CNU.
