ISSUE: 

This patch incorporates the following fixes:
 ============================================
 1) The sender's name is now set to the SMF long name instead of
the
 SMF short name.

 2) PROFS message acknowlegement (.ak) requests are now correctly
handled.
 Acknowledgements will only be sent to the PROFS user if so
requested by
 the PROFS user. By default, Global MHS will create an
acknowledgement when
 the message has been successfully delivered to the recipient's
mailbox. This
 is the recommended option.

 Optionally, the Global MHS adminstator can request that
acknowledgments are
 returned to the sender only when the recipient has actually read
the message.
 This option is activated by adding the following parameter to
the NGMPROFS
 configuration data on the NGM.CFG file:

         RECEIPT-NOTIFICATION-ON-READ=TRUE

 NOTE: If using the above option, the application being used by
the recipient
 must be fully SMF71 compliant and create receipt notifications
as documented
 in the SMF71 Reference guide. Otherwise, acknowledgements will
not be sent
 back to the PROFS sender.

 3) If the sender's address (NDS user) is registered in the GMHS
database,
    the PROFS protocol module will obtain the SYSTEM name from
the
    extended address part.  Otherwise, the sender is registered
in the auto
    registration table & the short name for the SMF GATEWAY is
used as a
    SYSTEM name.

Installation Instructions:

TO APPLY THIS PATCH:
 ===================

 1) Delete PATCH.* from the NGM\BIN directory if you have applied
    previous NGM patches.
 2) Delete the BACKUP directory from the NGM\BIN directory if it
exists.
    Otherwise, ignore STEP 2.
 3) Copy the files PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP to your NGM\BIN
subdirectory.
 4) Change directories to your NGM\BIN directory.
 5) Make a backup copy of the following NGMPROFS v1.0 files:

         NGMPROFS.NLM    (dated 04-12-94 ;      2711 bytes in
size)
         PROFSCON.NLM    (dated 04-12-94 ;    160311 bytes in
size)
         PROFSRUN.NLM    (dated 05-31-94 ;    259070 bytes in
size)
         PROFUINS.NLM    (dated 04-12-94 ;      2952 bytes in
size)
         PROFSCON.HLP    (dated 03-21-94 ;      4306 bytes in
size)

    if you have previously applied the PROFS101 patch, your
current
    NGMPROFS files will have the following file statistics:

         NGMPROFS.NLM    (dated 04-12-94 ;      2711 bytes in
size)
         PROFSCON.NLM    (dated 04-12-94 ;    160311 bytes in
size)
         PROFSRUN.NLM    (dated 07-12-94 ;    259679 bytes in
size)
         PROFUINS.NLM    (dated 04-12-94 ;      2952 bytes in
size)
         PROFSCON.HLP    (dated 03-21-94 ;      4306 bytes in
size)


 6) Run the program PATCH.EXE (with no parameters).
 7) If the patch succeeds, delete PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP.
    The resulting NGMPROFS files will have the following file
statistics:

         NGMPROFS NLM      2711 03-27-95  10:07a
         PROFSCON NLM    160311 03-27-95  10:07a
         PROFSRUN NLM    259965 03-27-95  10:06a
         PROFUINS NLM      2952 04-12-94   6:40p
         PROFSCON HLP      4306 03-21-94  11:43a
         PROFSRUN MAP     93027 03-24-95  11:17a
