The most closely related manual, the OSI/MHS Gateway Programmatic Interface (GPI)
Programming Guide, provides important background information about X.400 gateways
and Compaq OSI/MHS. It presents a detailed overview of how the GPI operates and
how to write client application programs using the GPI procedures. Other related
publications fall into three categories: documents prepared by standards groups,
Compaq programming manuals, and other Compaq OSI/MHS manuals.
Documents Prepared by Standards Groups
