The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

The size of the SNA Server configuration file (Com.cfg) does not change even
after a large number of items have been deleted from the configuration.

NOTE: The configuration file will rarely exceed the capacity of a high- density
floppy disk. This problem will not present operational issues under normal
circumstances.

CAUSE
=====

The Snacfg.dll was not setting the end of file correctly on the configuration
file.

RESOLUTION
==========

SNA Server has been modified to close the file properly, thereby adjusting the
file size.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This
problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack.
