The following items are the problems being addressed by this latest TeamLinks
V2.1 patch kit.
o Cannot connect to Local Shared Drawer.
LOCALFIX.EXE cannot repair 3.5 GB drawer.
CFCLOCAL.DLL has been updated to better detect and handle concurrent
access collisions in shared drawers. Integrity checks have been
incorporated to trap and report corrupt drawers. Changes have also
been made to address problems with keywords, wastebasket document
counts, folder and document deletion, and to correct a limit on the
number of local file cabinets that can be opened simultaneously.
LOCALFIX has been updated with improved drawer file header and data
structure validation which will prevent crashes and hangs occasional-
ly observed in previous versions of LOCALFIX.
Modules Updated: CFCLOCAL.DLL, LOCALFIX.EXE
o The .ST index file of a local file cabinet grew to Gigabyte size.
The .ST index file of a shared TeamLinks drawer would suddenly grow
to the size of several Gigabytes. A TeamLinks shared drawer with
only 1 folder and 1 document grew to a size of 2.8 Mb.
Modules Updated: CFCLOCAL.DLL
o LOCALFIX.EXE hangs when recovering some corrupted file cabinets.
The LOCALFIX.EXE utility would hang when recovering some corrupted
TeamLinks Local file cabinets.
Modules Updated: LOCALFIX.EXE
o LOCALFIX.EXE crashes and sometimes reboots PC when recovering some
corrupted file cabinets.
The LOCALFIX.EXE utility would crash when recovering TeamLinks Local
file cabinets and some times reboot the PC.
Modules Updated: LOCALFIX.EXE
o Opening 8 documents from Word or using Save As gets
'DOS File cannot be opened' - Too many files.
Creating 2 - 8 new documents in 1 Word 6.0 session and saving the
documents into the file cabinet results in the 'DOS file cannot be
opened' error message. The temporary files are saved into the
staging area, but they are not inserted into the file cabinet.
Modules Updated: CFCIOS.DLL
o NEWMAIL.EXE causes hang when exiting Windows.
Starting up the TeamLinks New Mail application and then exiting
Windows will cause Windows to hang.
Modules Updated: NEWMAIL.EXE
o Can not route package after modifying template routing list.
Modifying the routing list of a template causes the routing packages
created from the template to be un-routable.
Modules Updated: TMRDSIGN.EXE
o Sending ALL-IN-1 mail with attachments to TeamLinks
users results in Mastersoft viewer error 209.
When a WPS-PLUS file is improperly closed and then attached to a
mail message, a TeamLinks user receives a Mastersoft viewer error
209 when trying to view the attachment.
Modules Updated: W4W45F.DLL, W4W45T.DLL
o Limit for the number of TeamLinks opened local file cabinets was 19.
Having more than 19 local cabinets opened caused a GPF. The limit
for the number of opened TeamLinks local file cabinets drawers has
been substantially increased.
Modules Updated: CFCLOCAL.DLL
o When using the Read Attachment option, sometimes not all of the Word
2.0c document is displayed in the message area.
A Word 2.0c document is created and sent as an attachment. When the
attachment is read using the Read Attachment option, it sometimes is
not completely displayed. The problem seems to occur when the Word
document contains a table and the display stops part way through the
table.
Modules Updated: VIEW.DLL
o Printing a Word file from within TeamLinks causes a GPF.
Under certain conditions a Word 6.0 document causes a GPF in the
W4W49F.DLL module. If Word is launched instead of using the
viewer, the file prints fine.
Modules Updated: VIEW.DLL, AUTOREC.DLL, W4W49F.DLL
o Printing Excel document from TeamLinks Mail to HP Deskjet 500c fails.
Printing a TeamLinks document is started using the Print button
from the Information Manager. The cover memo is printed out correct-
ly. At first, message 'Print attachment 1 (filename)' is displayed
and then the error message, 'Error !Printer Initialization Error'.
Modules Updated: VIEW.DLL, AUTOREC.DLL, W4W49F.DLL
o Need option to suppress error message after changing cover memo format.
A module written to do pre-processing of the Save, Save As and Send
option from Create Mail windows changes the actual format from TEXT
to SECMAIL. TeamLinks accepts this but displays a message that the
format should be edited via an external application. Although the
cover memo is saved with this new format, it's not possible to get
around this error message.
Disabling this error message requires the following OFFICE.INI
file entry: [TeamLinks Mail]
NonTextCoverOK=YES
Modules Updated: INFOMAN.EXE
The following items are problems addressed by the TeamLinks V2.1 Application
Integration Kit (AIK) available with this patch kit:
o Excel 5.0 displays wrong text on status line for the 3rd and 4th
Integration buttons.
The 3rd button status states: 'Creates a button to which you can
assign a macro.'
The 4th button status states: 'Switches to Microsoft Mail'
Modules Updated: XL5TLINT.XLA
o New Excel 5.0 document created from Infoman gets 'UNTITLE 1' as caption.
When doing a NEW from Infoman to create a new Excel 5.0 document, the
document caption in Word will display 'INFOMAN:UNTITLE 1'. This makes
it hard for users to differentiate between the documents if more than
1 is created in the same session.
Modules Updated: XL5TLINT.DLL
o Word 6.0 Integration ignores changes to Read Only documents during
FileExit.
After opening a Read Only document from the file cabinet, Word 6.0
allows the document to be edited. When the user closes the document
using the File/Close or File/Exit, the integration will just close
the windows without asking users to save their changes. Hence, all
edits are lost.
Modules Updated: DECWORD6.DOT
o Word 6.0 Integration DOS/SaveAs dialog treats the "Close" button as OK.
Within the Word 6.0 integration, it puts up the DOS File/SaveAs
dialog box from Word for saving documents into DOS. In the dialog,
if the user selects the "Options" button and entered "OK" from the
Options dialog box, the Cancel button of the SaveAs dialog will be
changed to "Close" which should behave the same as "Cancel". The
integration treats it like an "OK" and saves the file.
Modules Updated: DECWORD6.DOT

o DX files sent from VMSMAIL are not displayed properly in TeamLinks.
