Limitations of Use

The following restrictions are necessary for FOXMAPI to function correctly:

FOXMAPI cannot interface with Microsoft Mail version 3.2 or Schedule+ version 1.x under Windows 95.
Testing is not yet complete to determine whether FOXMAPI can interface successfully to 32-bit Schedule Plus available with Windows NT.
