In certain cases, your application might need to interact with one of the TRANSFER
clients or agents supplied by Tandem. This is necessary, for example, when a Tandem
application is embedded within your own, or when you write application software
that is called by a Tandem application.
This appendix describes conventions common to all TRANSFER applications supplied
by Tandem and discusses considerations specific to Tandem electronic mail clients.
See Appendix B of the TRANSFER Reference Manual for information about status
packages.
Interfacing with Any
