- Pegasus Mail for Win32, version 2.31, wide release beta 2
- Pegasus Mail System, Copyright (c) 1996, David Harris, All Rights Reserved.
-
- This archive contains the second wide beta release of the 32-bit version of
- Pegasus Mail for Windows.
-
- **** IMPORTANT NOTE!! ****
- This archive is not complete as it stands - in order to run WinPMail for
- Win32, you will need the 16-bit release of WinPMail v2.31 as well, since
- the two versions share most files.
-
- To install WinPMail for Win32, simply copy the contents of this archive
- into the directory where you installed WinPMail v2.31. Create a Program
- Manager icon that runs the program WINPM-32.EXE. WinPMail for Win32 will
- pick up all your settings and preferences for the 16-bit version of
- WinPMail - the two versions are designed to co-exist easily.
-
- There are a number of important notes about this release:
-
- * This release has no support for Novell NetWare. The Novell API libraries
- only appear to run with the Novell Universal Client/32, which is still a
- problematic product. The Novell API libraries do not seem to run with the
- Microsoft Windows 95 requester, which is the one that the vast majority
- of people seem to be using. The full release will have NetWare support,
- but it appears that it will only be able to use the Novell Requester.
-
- * This release looks for WSOCK32.DLL instead of WINSOCK.DLL. WSOCK32.DLL is
- the name Microsoft use for their 32-bit WINSOCK library, but it is unclear
- at this stage whether other vendors will use the same name. If you need to
- use a Windows Sockets implementation that uses a name other than WSOCK32.DLL,
- you will need to specify it on the WinPMail commandline using the -W <path>
- switch to specify the DLL you want WinPMail to load. The 32-bit version of
- WinPMail cannot use a 16-bit WINSOCK.DLL.
-
- * This version is identical in appearance, user-interface and function set
- to the 2.31 16-bit release. It should be regarded as a starting point for
- further development - as the Windows 95 user interface stabilises
- (particularly in the Windows NT environment), we will be working on a
- version of WinPMail for Win32 that takes advantage of features of the
- Win95 interface.
-
- * WinPMail for Win32 cannot load or run 16-bit WinPMail extensions.
-
- * WinPMail for Win32 is targeted for Windows 95 or Windows NT v3.50; it
- may or may not work under Windows 3.1 with Win32 extensions.
