    Subject: Lotus AMI Pro 2.00 wrongly shipped COMMDLG.DLL from 6/14/91…
    Date: Thu, 17 Oct 91 17:48:05 PDT

    Hi Cameron and Viktor - Apparently, Lotus wrongly shipped COMMDLG with
    thier AMI Pro 2.00 product. They picked up the beta 1 COMMDLG which was
    NOT included in the list of files available for redistribution. We need
    to contact them, have them update to the beta 2 release of COMMDLG and
    notify their customer base that they need to upgrade COMMDLG or they may
    affect other software components that use COMMDLG.

    We did not give them permission nor did they ask anyone here to include
    COMMDLG with AMI Pro 2.00. They also ship OLECLI and OLESVR from beta 1
    which is fine.

    This issue was broght to my attention because it is affecting
    OC/Windows. (JeffBe has more details if you want them)

    Please look into this asap. If you have any questions, please let me
    know.

    Thanks,
    Tim Brewer

    I spoke to paul sherer yesterday. he asked about apm
    and I told him we would be announcing it soon ; we’d
    comment fully then. He also had the impression it would
    ONLY work with rom dos.

    Well …

    I hadn’t exactly meant to put it across
    that way,

    but …

    You hit the nail on the head.

    This is a very important point. We need to create the reputation
    for problems and incompatibilies to undermine confidence
    in drdos6; so people will make judgements against it without
    knowing details or fats. it’s will be tricky to do;
    we should dig up as many user stories as possible. compare
    drdow6 to dos4; ibm has expereince will building bad/incompat
    dos’s.

    we should think how we can get this down.
    (done).

    yup,good point - this was meant to discuss rom dos only but the
    message could be confused.

    we will check with ray.

    Date: Wed Oct 23 16:29:55 1991

    I don’t understand this mail, brad. it doesn’t say
    anything about file transfer. It amkes it seem like power
    manager ONLY works with ROM DOS. That’s VERY confusing.

    We should make it very clear that all the pieces work
    with DISK-BASED ms-dos too.

    In addition, we should ask rayka where all the oem’s are
    for rom dos? we got lots of rather nasty mail from
    him about our mistakes; i’d like to know where the customers
    are now.

    Cool, sound like comdex is windex for real…that’s
    GREAT! I started reading paul sherer’s article,
    but didn’t finish…hope to finish tonight.

    Some ISVs and OEMs got the spec, I can find the
    exact list if thats important.

    On the issue of what to ship, we have some talking
    to do. Disk space is looking pretty grim for adding
    much at all. Are we absolutely hardcore about not
    adding another disk. The AGFA guys were here today
    and talked about how many fonts are in PCL 5
    printers. They claim 26.5 million fonts in printers,
    just counting CG Times and Universe. Shipping a TrueType
    version of those would certainly be great for a large %
    of Windows users.

    See ya when you get back.

    Date: Wed, 23 Oct 91 17:13:18 PDT
    6/14/91…

    I’ll give them a call tomorrow (Thursday.) FYI, I have experimented with
    this, and it does seem to overwrite a newer version of the DLL - ie, it
    left my beta II version of COMMDLG intact.
    If I’m correct (I will verify with Lotus,) than there should be no problem
    with OC/Win - let me know if you have different data (essentially, I need
    to determine the urgency/gravity of the problem, as AMI has shipped
already.)

    thx, viktor
