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
