HP UX SNAplus2 MS API, LUA API, NOF API, Windows APIs

	Introduction to SNAplus2
	SNAplus2 Components
	For more information, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 3270 & TN3270
	HLLAPI Programmers Guide or HP-UX SNAplus2 3270/3179G Users
	Guide.
	LUA API
	The LUA API enables application programmers to write applications
	that communicate with host applications at the request unit and
	response unit (RU) level, and to send and receive data on both the
	SSCP-LU session and the PLU-SLU session. This API can be used to
	support LU 0, 1, 2, or 3 communication with the host.
	An LUA application uses the node's LU type 0–3 resources to
	communicate with a host application. You do not need to define any
	additional resources.
	For more information, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 LUA Programmers
	Guide.
	MS API
	The Management Services (MS) API enables an application to
	communicate with other MS products in an APPN network. An
	application can be either NMVT-level or MDS-level, depending on the
	type of MS data it sends and receives. SNAplus2 performs any data
	conversion that is required.
	For more information, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 MS Programmers
	Guide.
	NOF API
	The NOF API can be used to write applications that administer
	SNAplus2 configuration and management resources. For more
	information, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 NOF Programmers Guide.
	Windows APIs
For Windows	The SNAplus2 client software includes API libraries that are fully
	compatible with Microsoft SNA Server and the Windows Open Systems
	Architecture (WOSA), enabling applications written for SNA Server to
	run unchanged on the SNAplus2 Windows client.
	SNAplus2 supports the following WOSA APIs:
	• Windows APPC
