- See Mail Version 1.4
- ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
-
- Notes:
-
- The following is not noted in the manual:
-
- 1) You cannot use background MCI Mail with Windows 3.1 as Microsoft has
- removed this capability. Instead, use the See Mail AutoPoll menu option.
- For Windows 3.0 you must load the MCIMAIL access program resident as
- a TSR - BEFORE you start Windows, if you want to use background MCI Mail.
-
- The internal mail works fine from within all versions of Windows.
-
- 2) Foriegn language menus - the main menu files in english are :
-
- sm-mnadv.cfg - advanced menu master
- sm-mnstd.cfg - standard menu master
- sm-stmsg.cfg - main messages used as standard.
- sm-exmsg.cfg - messages used with extended features only.
-
- The following files correspond
-
- German - sm-gradv.cfg and sm-grstd.cfg - Menus
- German - sm-stger.cfg and sm-exger.cfg - Messages
- French - sm-fnadv.cfg and sm-fnstd.cfg - Menus
- French - sm-stfrn.cfg and sm-exfrn.cfg - Messages
-
- If you replace the sm-mn*.cfg files with the language menus, and then run
- the 'Setup', 'Change Mode' process from within See Mail, the menus will be
- changed over (this will change the file called sm-menu.cfg).
- Replace the sm-stmsg.cfg and sm-exmsg.cfg files with the matching language
- file for all sub-menus and dialogues.
-
- You will find two files - FRENCH.EXE and GERMAN.EXE that contain the files
- noted above.
-
- 3) Choice lists for databank entry fields.
-
- You can now associate a choice list file with a field on a screen.
- For instance you may attach a list to the STATE field showing all the valid
- state abbreviations for a user to select one.
-
- To do this you must first create a file in the same format as either
- SEE-MAIL.ACT or the example STATES.ACT file.
-
- Then using either the See-mail editor, or the EDIT function from within the
- SCRDEF program add a line to SEE-MAIL.SCR (or the .SCR for the databank) thus:
-
- field_act("Province_state","states.act")
- -- Field Name --,--- File ---
-
- Do NOT add a path to the filename - See Mail will automatically search for
- the file either in the main program directory, or in the Mail directory.
-
- If you are sharing databanks across a network, your new .SCR and .ACT file
- should be located with the shared version of the See-mail.exe, else locate
- the files in your mail directory.
