COMPAQ Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ Product Name: MAILbus 400 Application Program Interface SPD 46.90.07 for DIGITAL UNIX, Version 2.0C PRODUCT DESCRIPTION MAILbus[TM] 400 Application Program Interface (API) for DIGITAL[TM] UNIX[R] is a layered software product that resides on a DIGITAL UNIX system. It provides a programming interface that gives application de- velopment programmers access to the messaging services provided by the MAILbus 400 Message Transfer Agent. MAILbus 400 API provides a C language interface to the MAILbus 400 MTA's messaging services. An ANSI C conformant compiler is required to use the MAILbus 400 API. A MAILbus 400 Application Program Interface license is required for application development only. An application built using MAILbus 400 Application Program Interface can be operated without the need for a MAILbus 400 Application Program Interface license. MAILbus 400 API can operate either colocated with MAILbus 400 MTA or on a remote DIGITAL UNIX machine. MAILbus 400 API has been successfully tested on multiple CPU machines running DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0B and 4.0D. CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS MAILbus 400 API is an implementation of the X/Open[TM] CAE Specifi- cation - OSI[R]-Abstract-Data-Manipulation (November 1991 edition), and the X/Open CAE Specification - API to Electronic Mail (November June 1999 AE-Q2MZH-TE 1991 edition). These specifications define a vendor-independent pro- gramming interface to X.400 messaging services; however, applications linked with the MAILbus 400 API can only communicate directly with the MAILbus 400 MTA. MAILbus 400 API provides both the Application and Gate- way interfaces defined by the X/Open CAE Specifications. MAILbus 400 API does not support the Retrieval Functional Unit of the X/Open CAE Specification - API to Electronic Mail. YEAR 2000 READY (Y2K) MAILbus 400 API V2.0B is specified as Year 2000 Ready and will cor- rectly process, calculate, compare and sequence date data from, into and between the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000, including leap year calculations, when used in accor- dance with the associated COMPAQ Product documentation and provided that all hardware, firmware and software used in combination with such COMPAQ Products properly exchange date data with the COMPAQ Products.
