Please keep the following points in mind: *You need the Microsoft Exchange client (included in Windows 95) to send and receive meeting requests with Schedule+ 7.0. *Schedule+ 7.0 is backwards compatible with Schedule+ 1.0 except that you cannot modify data on Schedule+1.0 calendars. Schedule+ 1.0 users cannot view calendar details or modify data on Schedule+ 7.0 schedules. *Manager/delegate pairs must use the same version of Schedule+; i.e. both must use either Schedule+ 1.0 or Schedule+ 7.0. *You can use existing Schedule+ administrative utilities in ADMINSCH.EXE with the exception of the Administration/Clean Up Schedule Files command. This command should not be run on a Microsoft Mail 3.x postoffice with Schedule+ 7.0 users. *Schedule+ 7.0 meeting requests sent through the Microsoft Mail 3.x/PROFS gateway appear as ordinary mail messages to PROFS users. The time/date and location of the meeting are transferred to PROFS, however, users are unable to book the meeting directly onto their PROFS calendar. [Schedule+ 7.0 and the Timex Data Link watch] Schedule+ 7.0 supports downloading schedule data to the Timex Data Link watch on Windows 95 only. At this time, Schedule+ for Windows 95 running on Windows NT does not support the Timex Data Link watch downloader. Timex Data Link watch users can download text with international characters (for example, ê or Ç) to the watch. Due to physical limitations of the watch display, accented characters will download as their non-accented equivalent. (For example, ê will download as e and Ç will download as C.) [Lotus cc:Mail or Lotus Notes Schedule+ supports Vendor Independent Messaging (VIM) 1.0, which means that you can use the Send and Add/Edit Routing Slip commands (File menu) in Schedule+ to send or route Schedule+ documents with mail applications such as Lotus cc:Mail that support VIM 1.0. Lotus cc:Mail 1.11 users may get VIM support files from Lotus. In order for Schedule+ to use VIM mail applications the DOS PATH command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file must include the directory in which the mail application's VIM support files are stored. If the PATH does not include the directory containing the VIM support files then setup will not install VIM support for Schedule+ and Schedule+ will not function correctly when sending mail. The Schedule+ support files for VIM 1.0 are called MAPIVI32.DLL and MAPIVITK.DLL, and both are installed in the System subdirectory of the Windows program directory. There are known problems with Lotus Notes 3.3 TCP/IP network protocol support which are being addressed in a future version of Lotus Notes. These problems will prevent Schedule+ from sending mail through the current versions of 16 bit Lotus Notes when Lotus Notes is using TCP/IP as its network protocol. Using a protocol other than TCP/IP solves the problem. [Intellilink Import and Export filters] Intellilink Import and Export filters are not installed as part of a Typical install. To use the filters, choose them as part of a Custom installation. [Setup on Windows NT 3.51 (or later)] If you are installing on Windows NT 3.51, you will need to obtain an updated version of an NT 3.51 system file named WINSRV.DLL. This file will be contained in Service Pack 1 for NT 3.51. The Service Pack will also address some issues with the Help on Windows NT 3.51 and contain other enhancements. Once the Service Pack is available, NT 3.51 users will be able to access it the following way: This file can be obtained by For Compuserve (i386 only): Log onto CIS and type the following: Go microsoft 7 (Microsoft Support Forums and Services) 1 (US Product Support) 8 (Microsoft Operating Systems) 6 (Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack Download Area) Download latest Service Pack for NT 3.51 For Internet Access: ftp ftp.microsoft.com logon anonymous cd bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/nt351 bin get [Removing Earlier Schedule+ Version's Help Files From Path statement] On a machine with both Schedule+ 95 and a previous version of Schedule+, Schedule+ 95 may load the previous version's Help files. To correct this, edit the Path statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT to remove the reference to the previous version's directory location. [Using Disks with Distribution Media Format (DMF)] With the exception of the Setup disk (Disk 1), your Schedule+ disks use a new format called DMF (Distribution Media Format). DMF increases the capacity of a 3.5-inch floppy disk, which reduces the number of disks needed to install your application and speeds up installation. Because DMF is a new format, many existing utilities such as Norton Disk Doctor, Microsoft ScanDisk, MS-DOS DiskCopy, and Microsoft Windows Copy Disk do not recognize DMF. You should NOT use disk utilities to examine a DMF formatted disk, as these utilities can corrupt the DMF disk. You cannot copy DMF formatted disks using MS-DOS DiskCopy or Microsoft Windows Copy Disk ( If you want to copy files from the Setup disks, see "Extracting Files from DMF Disks," later in this file.). Windows 95, Windows 3.1 (or later), and Windows NT 3.5 (or later) support DMF. If there is a chance that your system has a virus, you should run a recently updated virus detection utility such as F-prot before installing Schedule+ for Windows 95. Otherwise Disk 2 and higher may become infected with the virus. Extracting Files from DMF Disks If you need to copy the Schedule+ disks onto a network server or other permanent storage drive, you may use the copy switch (/C) with the EXTRACT.EXE utility on Disk 1 to copy the Schedule+ installation files to the target location. For example, after creating a directory called C:\DISKS on your hard disk drive for the Schedule+ files, copy all the files on Disk 1 to that directory. (Since Disk 1 does not use DMF, you can use the standard MS-DOS Copy command, COPY A:\*.* C:\DISKS.) Switch to drive A and type the following command to copy the rest of the disks to the directory C:\DISKS: FOR %I IN (*.*) DO C:\DISKS\EXTRACT /C A:\%I C:\DISKS\%I A cabinet (.CAB) file includes many files stored as a single file. If you need only a single file that is contained in one of the cabinet files, you may search for it using the /D switch with EXTRACT.EXE. Once you find the file, you can use EXTRACT.EXE again to copy the file to the desired location. You can also type EXTRACT /? to get help on the EXTRACT command options. Here are some examples of how to use the EXTRACT command to find files. To list all files in a cabinet file: EXTRACT /D A:\ To list all EXE files in a cabinet file: EXTRACT /D A:\ *.EXE Here are some examples of how to use EXTRACT to copy a single file out of a cabinet file. To extract ANY.EXE to the current directory: EXTRACT A:\ ANY.EXE To extract ANY.EXE to C:\OFFICE: EXTRACT A:\ /L C:\OFFICE ANY.EXE [Updates to Getting Results with Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows 95] The following are changes that occurred after the book went to press.
