function optimally.

Windows NT 4.0-specific components with Windows 2000-specific Windows Services
For UNIX components. Use the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel to remove
the following components if they are installed on the system:

MORE INFORMATION
================
The Windows NT 4.0 Windows Services For UNIX binaries listed in the "Resolution"
section of this article will run on either Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000-based
systems. However, Microsoft recommends that you individually upgrade these
components after you upgrade to Windows 2000. Windows 2000 supports the /robust
switch. This flag tells the Microsoft Interface Definition Language (MIDL)
compiler to generate additional error-checking information, which the Network
Data Representation (NDR) engine uses to perform integrity checks at run time.
The /robust switch is available only under Windows 2000. These components were
compiled by using the /robust switch.
