SUMMARY
Successfully running MACGATE.EXE requires separate drives or drive mapping
to the postoffice database (..\MAILDATA) and the executable directory
(..\MAILEXE) containing the four MS-DOS executables needed by the Microsoft
Mail Connection version 1.0b (MACGATE.EXE, MACGET.EXE, MACPUT.EXE, and
IMPORT.EXE).
When you run MACGATE.EXE, the executable directory must be the current
directory.
If you attempt to run MACGATE.EXE from a directory other than the
executable directory or if you do not have a separate drive mapping for
the data and executables you get an error similar to this:
Error running FFAPI program: No such file or directory
Bad parameter value. (110)
: 74
exiting on (date time) with status 74 (118)
Or if the executable directory is pathed:
IMPORT.EXE not found. Check executable path or
copy from distribution diskette.
exiting on (date time) with status 81 (118)
If you have only one drive mapping and try to run MACGATE.EXE with all
other parameters and settings correct, your current directory would change
to ..\MAILDATA and you would get one of the above errors. For example,
M:\MAILEXE> macgate
would result in one the above errors followed by:
M:\MAILDATA>
