Before You Begin

This book is a guide for developing C programming language application programs that use Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) to exchange data in a Systems Network Architecture (SNA) environment.

The SNAP-IX implementation of APPC is based on IBM's implementation of APPC in its OS/2 products (such as Communications Server for OS/2), with modifications for the Solaris environment.

Programs written to use the SNAP-IX implementation of APPC can exchange data with programs written to use other implementations of APPC that adhere to the SNA Logical Unit (LU) 6.2 architecture.
