Very important: In order to have Notes C/C++ API based applications run correctly, these applications must know where to find the core Notes program files. The C and C++ API libraries use functions in all the DLLs! This is done by specifying the Notes Program Directory in the PATH environment variable. In Windows 95, 98 and ME, this is set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the command SET PATH=%PATH%;<full path to the Notes Program Directory>In Windows NT, 2000 and XP the PATH environment variable is set from the System applet in the Control Panel. Be sure to have Administrators Rights in order to change this variable's content.
