Oh sorry...I got confused there....the actors are the OFFICE assistants. Like I said before...the inbox asst and the out of office asst are only available with Exchange Server. Without it, you have to use Rules...not the assts.

The folder contains two files -- CLIPPIT.ACT (458 KB) and LOGO.ACT (349 KB), and they both were Modified 12/20/96 (LOL). However, the Inbox Assistant and the Out-Of-Office Assistant are still grayed out in the Tools menu. So I guess maybe this old version just can't make them work on a Win98 machine.
