- Additional Notes About Workgroup Connection and Microsoft Mail
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This document contains information about Workgroup Connection and Microsoft
- Mail that wasn't available when the Workgroup Connection User's Guide was
- printed.
-
- 1. NOTES ABOUT WORKGROUP CONNECTION
-
- 1.1 If you have an 8088 processor
- ---------------------------------
- You must use the basic redirector if your computer has an 8088 processor.
- The basic redirector is the default.
-
- 1.2 Setup is slow on some computers
- -----------------------------------
- On some computers, particularly those with 8088 processors, Workgroup
- Connection Setup may appear to pause for as long as 5 minutes. Do not
- restart your computer.
-
- 1.3 Using Qualitas Maximize or Quarterdeck Optimize
- ---------------------------------------------------
- In some rare situations, Qualitas Maximize and Quarterdeck Optimize may
- attempt to load some Workgroup Connection commands into the upper memory
- area. If this causes problems, use Maximize or Optimize in manual mode and
- do not use it to load Workgroup Connection commands into the upper memory
- area. Workgroup Connection automatically loads its commands into the upper
- memory area, if there is enough space. For details on using manual mode,
- see your Maximize or Optimize documentation.
-
- 1.4 Workgroup Connection cannot be installed on DoubleDisk drive
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- You cannot use Workgroup Connection on a Vertisoft Systems DoubleDisk
- drive. You must install Workgroup Connection on another type of drive.
-
- 1.5 Making the pop-up interface visible on a monochrome monitor
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- To force the Workgroup Connection pop-up interface to appear in monochrome
- mode, type MODE MONO at the MS-DOS command prompt before you display the
- pop-up interface, or include MODE MONO in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- 1.6 Using QEMM Lastdrive
- ------------------------
- If you add drive letters using QEMM Lastdrive and then use Workgroup
- Connection to connect to one of them, the connection will work but no
- information about the shared resources on it will be displayed.
-
- 1.7 If your COMMAND.COM file is not in root directory
- -----------------------------------------------------
- Workgroup Connection won't start if your COMMAND.COM file is not in the
- root directory of your startup drive unless you have a SHELL command in
- your CONFIG.SYS file that specifies the location of COMMAND.COM. For
- information about the COMMAND and SHELL commands, see your MS-DOS
- documentation.
-
- 1.8 Enabling validated logons to LAN Manager domains
- ----------------------------------------------------
- You must run the Workgroup Connection full redirector to have your user
- name and password validated by a Microsoft LAN Manager server.
-
- 2. NOTES ABOUT MICROSOFT MAIL
-
- 2.1 Messages on Main screen or in private folders cannot be compressed
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The person who administers your workgroup post office can compress only
- the shared folders stored on it.
-
