Mac SDK: Software Development Kits Descriptions (51347)

MORE INFORMATION

The following is a description of each SDK:

Gateways SDK

The Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit for Gateways provides a comprehensive set of tools for building gateways between AppleTalk Mail and other mail systems. A well-defined set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) allows developers to tightly integrate the gateways with Microsoft Mail in order to have the same high level of performance, transparency, and reliability as AppleTalk Mail.

NOTE: This SDK comes as a set of C and Pascal libraries that can be used with the Macintosh Programmers Workshop.

Applications SDK

The Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit for Applications allows application vendors to tightly integrate their existing applications with AppleTalk Mail so users can send and receive messages and fully formatted files from within these applications. In addition, the Applications SDK lets an application use Microsoft Mail as a mechanism for interapplication communication, allowing developers to build powerful, distributed applications that can automatically consolidate, distribute, and manipulate information across a network.

NOTE: This SDK comes as a set of C libraries that can be used with the Macintosh Programmers Workshop.

SDK for HyperCard

The Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit for HyperCard provides a set of HyperCard extensions that allow AppleTalk Mail to be accessed from within HyperCard. As a result, HyperCard developers can build powerful applications that use Microsoft Mail to exchange information both between users and between applications.

NOTE: This SDK is included with the Mail version 3.00 server on the Extras disk.
