SYMPTOMS
After you install the PRC version of the Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client, any file with Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) characters will have corrupted characters in it. You can see this by opening the Gbk.txt file supplied in the \Windows directory. The Gbk.txt file contains all of the characters defined for the system.



CAUSE
When the Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client is installed, it replaces the Riched32.dll with it's own version. The Microsoft Exchange version incorrectly displays some of the DBCS characters.



WORKAROUND
Replace the Microsoft Exchange client version of riched32.dll with the one that came with Windows 95. Then Gbk.txt will open properly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange clients, version 4.0, listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 4. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
