RE: CA W95 sessions

Make sure you have the proper PTF's installed on your AS/400.  My chart is
out of date but if you order the out of date PTF's IBM will send you the
latest (anybody have the complete, updated list?).  My V3R7 PTF's are fine.
 What about the other ones?

Only some of the above PTFs can be applied immediately.  Software Service
recommends applying 
all the PTFs at the same time and therefore recommends setting all the
above PTFs to apply Delayed.  
Please read cover letters and verify that all co-req's and pre-req's to the
above five PTFs are also applied.

BTW, those using Synapse NetWolf on Win311, Win95, Win98, or WinNT can name
their sessions by doing the following (from the desktop):

1)  Start; Program; Synapse NetWolf; Config (slightly different for Win311
to get to config)
2)  Highlight session to modify and click Configure Session
3)  Click Advanced and enter in the desired device name (legal names only
please)
4)  OK youself out and end configuration.

Jerry
