ANNOUNCEMENT
------------
Distributed Application/2 Version 1.1 is now available.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
-------------------
Distributed Application/2 is a set of application programming
interfaces (APIs) that provide a consistent way to access
interprocess and network communication functions under Operating
System/2 (OS/2) Version 2.0, making client/server applications
easier to create than ever. Distributed Application/2 supplies you
with a set of APIs designed to help you compete in the growing
client/server programming arena. The APIs hide the complexity of
the supported communications protocols, and enable you to select a
communications protocol for your application at run time without
requiring you to change your code. You focus on your application,
and leave the client/server communication to Distributed
Application/2. Distributed Application/2 supports the following
communications protocols: Advanced program-to-program communication
(APPC), NetBIOS, and OS/2 named pipes.
Distributed Application/2 APIs have been enabled for C and REXX.
You can redistribute our DLLs with your application without extra
charges or royalty payments.
