About This Book
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 SNAplus2 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 HP-UX environment.
Programs written to use the SNAplus2 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.
