LOTUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION/cc:MAIL IMPORT/EXPORT Release 5.1

This README.TXT file contains information about Lotus Development
Corporation/cc:Mail Import/Export Release 5.1 that became available
after the Import/Export Release 5.1 Release Notes were printed.

Please note that all references in this README.TXT to IMPORT.EXE and
EXPORT.EXE, used with the DOS operating system, are also applicable to
IMPORT2.EXE and EXPORT2.EXE for the OS/2 operating system, with the
exception of item #5 below.

Items covered in this Lotus Development Corporation/cc:Mail Import/Export
README.TXT file include:

1)  New Import Release 5.11
2)  New directory export sort order (DIRECTORY/PROPADD)
3)  Importing with DIRECTORY/PROP
4)  cc:Mobile for Windows compatibility
5)  Using the DOS 3.x operating system


1)  NEW IMPORT RELEASE 5.11

Subsequent to the preparation of the Import/Export 5.1 Release Notes, the
IMPORT.EXE and IMPORT2.EXE programs needed modification to enable them to
write all of a binary file attachment to the CCMAIL.UND file, should a message
with such an attachment be undeliverable.  For this reason, the release number
for Import was incremented to Release 5.11.


2)  NEW DIRECTORY EXPORT SORT ORDER (DIRECTORY/PROPADD)

The Import/Export 5.1 Release Notes state a different sort
order for exporting directories.  Please replace this section
with the following:

/DIRECTORY/PROPADD

With the /DIRECTORY/PROPADD command line parameter, the EXPORT program
exports directory entries in the following order:

P - directly connected post offices
p - indirectly connected post offices
L, l, R, r  - local users, remote local users, local mobile users,
              and remote mobile users are all grouped together
A, a - local alias users and remote alias users are grouped together

Each of these groups of directory entries is sorted in directory order
(alphabetical order).  /DIRECTORY/PROPADD functions as /DIRECTORY/PROP did,
except sorting, and any data in the Address field (Addr:) for "P", "L",
and "R" entries is "prepended" with the name of the exporting post office.
Below is an example of the export command line using /DIRECTORY/PROPADD.

      EXPORT /Npo-name /Ppo-password /Dpo-path /DIRECTORY/PROPADD.

This format reflects the name of the exporting post office and the address
of the entry when viewed from the exporting post office.  This is done
because the address, when it is viewed from the exporting post office, is
important only to the exporting post office.

Example export from Silver-HUB directory:

        Name: Silver-HQ
        Locn: P
        Addr: Silver-HUB 555-1212
        Cmts:

If the above entry is imported into Silver-HUB, the address will be
the phone number (555-1212).  If the entry is imported into some other
post office, the address will be Silver-HUB.  Actually, the address will
be "Silver-HUB 555-1212" but the phone number will have no function.
Therefore, there is no need to be concerned about the address of "P" entries
when exporting relative to where they will be imported.

Both the /DIRECTORY and the /DIRECTORY/PROP still function as they did
in Import/Export Release 3.32.  Below is a brief description of the
operation of both commands:

/DIRECTORY

With the /DIRECTORY command line parameter, the EXPORT program exports
directory entries in directory order, that is, as the directory entries
are listed in the exporting post office directory.  This command is
still the DEFAULT sort order for exporting directory entries.  If you
are exporting directory entries that will then be imported into another
post office, then do NOT use this command line parameter.  If you plan to
import the exported directory entries to another post office and propagate
them, export them using either /DIRECTORY/PROP or /DIRECTORY/PROPADD.

Example export from Silver-HUB directory:

        Name: Silver-HQ
        Locn: P
        Addr: 555-1212
        Cmts:

/DIRECTORY/PROP

With the /DIRECTORY/PROP command line parameter, the EXPORT program
exports directory entries with all post offices ("P" and "p" directory
entries) listed first in the export output file, followed by all
other directory entries.  Each group of directory entries is
sorted in directory order.  Any data in the Address field for "P"
local post office directory entries is replaced with the name of
the exporting post office.  This command line option operates as it
did in Import/Export Release 3.32.

Example export from Silver-HUB directory:

        Name: Silver-HQ
        Locn: P
        Addr: Silver-HUB
        Cmts:

NOTE:  If you are exporting directory entries to be imported to other
post offices, export using the DIRECTORY/PROP or /DIRECTORY/PROPADD
command line parameters; for this purpose, DO NOT export directory
entries using the /DIRECTORY command line parameter option.

Using the /DIRECTORY/PROP or /DIRECTORY/PROPADD command line parameters
with EXPORT properly prepares the directory entry Address field.
Additionally, using the /DIRECTORY/PROP or /DIRECTORY/PROPADD allows
the import to proceed MUCH faster than if post offices were listed as
part of the default /DIRECTORY sort order.


3)  IMPORTING WITH /DIRECTORY/PROP

Importing a directory file using /DIRECTORY/PROP will post the entries from
the import file to the ##DIRECTORY UPDATES bulletin board for propagation
to other post offices (as though they were added with the ADMIN program).

Previously (in Version 3.32), import would post the ENTIRE import file to
##DIRECTORY UPDATES when the import is completed, even if there were only
a few changes made to the directory.

Import, Version 5.1, now posts (for propagation) ONLY those directory
imports that resulted in changes to the directory.


4)  CC:MAIL MOBILE FOR WINDOWS COMPATIBILITY

Import/Export 5.1 now allows importing of messages into cc:Mail Mobile
for Windows, as described on page 17 of the Release Notes.  NOTE:  You
are only allowed to import messages from the user listed in the directory
as the "L" user.  Any message that has a From: field in the import file
other than the "L" user will be rejected with the

*** Unauthorized message sender  ***

error message in the CCMAIL.UND file.

Workaround:

You may either archive the messages or use what is called a Full User Move.
The Full User Move function is described on page 137 of the cc:Mail
Import/Export User's Manual, Version 3.3.

NOTE:  When importing directory entries into a Mobile for Windows post
office, use the "LOCALPO" post office name on the command line.
For example:

        IMPORT /NLOCALPO /Ppassword /Dpo-path @filename /DIRECTORY


5)  IF YOU ARE USING THE DOS 3.X OPERATING SYSTEM

If you run Import or Export on a machine running any version of the 3.x
DOS operating system, be sure to have a line in your CONFIG.SYS file
that states

        FILES=20

While the number of files can be larger, 20 is the minimum number recommended.
Please refer to your 3.x DOS documentation for more information about the FILES
line in the CONFIG.SYS.
