Execute the file highutl1.exe to extract the 3 files inside (highevy.exe, highutl1.txt, and wrkthd.exe). The file highevy.exe is a runtime executable of the Envoy version 7 viewer. It was designed to work with Windows 95 or better (i.e., Win98, and WinNT 4). Simply execute the file and Envoy will launch and automatically load the high utilization document into its program window. Controls should be obvious to navigate the document, and printing is available if desired. The file wrkthd.exe is a self-extracting file that will create two directories and one readme.txt file. The directories each contain a separate server NLM. Consult the readme.txt file, or the high utilization document (step #10) for instructions on how to use the NLMs. The information contained within this document is summarized within TID 2916430. This TID is only a summary; the bulk of the troubleshooting information is in this file, not the TID.
