MORE INFORMATION

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 after Schedule+ processes two non- Schedule+ messages.
Trap D errors occur under OS/2 or under the OS/2 subsystem of Windows NT while the Admin.prf file is being updated.
The program fails to apply changes from PowerCore's Schedule/DOS on the third request.
The Schdist.exe 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 PROFS 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. After you download Schdupd.exe to a new folder, run it (by typing "schdupd" at the MS-DOS prompt) to extract the contents of the file. You should receive the following files:

To Update Your Schdist.exe File

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

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

where <path> is the drive and folder where you ran the self- extracting Schdupd.exe file and <destination> is the drive and folder where your Schdist.exe file currently resides. For example, if you ran the self- extracting file from the TEST folder on drive D, and your Schdist.exe file is located in the Mailexe folder on drive C, type the following command:

copy d:\test\schdist.exe c:\mailexe

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 folder 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 folder. Make sure you update all copies of Schdist.exe.
