INTRODUCTION
============

The disk provided with this Application Note contains SCHDIST.EXE, a
replacement for the SCHDIST.EXE file that is included with version
1.0a of Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows. This update corrects the
following problems:

 - When multiple Mail for PC Networks postoffices have similar network
   and postoffice names, the Schedule Distribution program
   (SCHDIST.EXE) may not fully validate the entire
   <network>\<postoffice> name address to which the free/busy times
   are addressed.

 - Trap D errors occur under OS/2(R) after Schedule+ processes two non-
   Schedule+ messages.

 - Trap D errors occur under OS/2 or under the OS/2 subsystem of
   Windows NT(TM) while the ADMIN.PRF file is being updated.

 - The Schdist program fails to apply changes from PowerCore's
   Schedule/DOS on the third request.

 - The Schdist program does not import free/busy times via an SMTP
   gateway. The line length for word wrapping is too long for Schedule
   Distribution messages and, as a result, some encapsulated gateways
   rewrap the message. This causes the Schdist program to reject the
   message because of an improper format. The line length previously
   set at 82 (80 characters of data plus 2 characters for the
   terminator) was changed to 78.

   NOTE: If Schedule+ is interacting with the IBM(R) PROFS(R) calendar
   system, version 3.4a of the PROFS Host should be used. Version 3.4
   of the PROFS Host still wraps messages at 80 characters and will
   not function with this new version of SCHDIST.EXE.

To update your SCHDIST.EXE file
-------------------------------

1. Insert the enclosed WA0902 disk in your floppy disk drive.

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

      copy <drive>:\schdist.exe <destination>

   where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the WA0902 disk
   and <destination> is the drive and directory where your SCHDIST.EXE
   file currently resides. For example, if SCHDIST.EXE is located in
   the MAILEXE directory on drive C and the WA0902 disk is in drive A,
   type the following command:

      copy a:\schdist.exe c:\mailexe

   A message will be displayed stating: 1 file(s) copied. This
   indicates that your SCHDIST.EXE file has been successfully
   replaced.

   NOTE: SCHDIST.EXE typically resides on the computer dedicated to
   performing schedule distribution. The Schedule+ INSTALL.EXE program
   places SCHDIST.EXE in the path specified for the Admin files during
   installation. The default path is to the ADMINSCH directory on
   drive C of the computer where INSTALL.EXE is executed. SCHDIST.EXE
   can also be installed to the postoffice server in the Mail
   executables directory. Make sure you update all copies of
   SCHDIST.EXE.
