Title: 3+Share 1.6 RECVMSG.EXE and ANSI.SYS Dependency
date: 12/27/90

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

Users of 3+Share version 1.6 running RECVMSG.EXE may complain that the
DOS CLS (CLear Screen) command does not function properly.  If a user
invokes CLS and receives the text string <-[2J, the following information
will help you resolve the problem.

The RECVMSG.EXE file was unchanged from 3+Share version 1.3 through version
1.5.1.  It was modified for 3+Share 1.6, becoming more dependent on DOS ANSI
function calls.  3+Share 1.6 now requires that the CONFIG.SYS file contain
the following statement:

    device=[path\]ansi.sys

where [path\] indicates a path description to the subdirectory containing
the ANSI.SYS driver.  (ANSI.SYS is included with DOS versions 3.1 and
above, which support networks.)

File criteria for the 3+Share 1.6 version of RECVMSG.EXE is 13163 bytes,
dated 2-8-90 @ 6:59P.  The EtherLink Plus diagnostics and LPO diskette
(P/N 7066-02) contains the 3+Share 1.6 version of RECVMSG.EXE.  The earlier
version that is not ANSI.SYS-dependent is listed as 11579 bytes, dated
11/17/87 @ 3:17P.

To restore operability of the CLS command, add the ANSI.SYS driver to
CONFIG.SYS.
