This topic is part of the UnixWare 7 documentation set.
The titles included in the Software Development documentation are listed below, in a suggested browsing order for developers new to UnixWare:
How to run SCO OpenServer and UnixWare applications on UnixWare 7; as well as how to port applications and their source code to the UnixWare 7 Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Also describes the APIs appropriate for using the UnixWare/OpenServer Development Kit to develop applications that run on any SCO OpenServer and UnixWare system.
Discusses the UnixWare system programming environment and utilities and provides details of the C and C++ languages, file formats, link editor, libraries, and tools.
Describes tools for identifying problems in your programs and improving program performance.
Describes the UnixWare tools for developing and packaging application software.
Describes the basic operating system services provided by the UnixWare kernel.
Describes the C++ class libraries provided with the C++ compiler.
Covers networking APIs, such as XTI/TLI, Sockets, RPC, NIS, network selection, name-to-address mapping, the connection server, writing a port monitor, and REXEC client support routines.
Tells you how to use the Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) and the Extended Terminal Interface (ETI) routines to write menu-based and forms-based character user interfaces for your applications.
Contains information on using the SCO Visual Tcl scripting language to create Motif-based graphical user interfaces for your applications. Using this scripting language allows you to construct sophisticated graphical applications without the complexity of directly using, for example, Motif or curses.
How to create system management applications (known as managers) using the SCOadmin system administration framework and development environment.
Provides guidelines for creating graphical and character-based application interfaces that are consistent with the interface style used by existing SCOadmin managers.
Describes the NetWare API for C used by NetWare clients on UnixWare to interact with NetWare server software.
Provides programming information about the communications protocols in the NetWare protocol stack, consisting of daemons, drivers, and software modules that run on UnixWare; together, these elements provide the transport layer interface to NetWare server software.
Describes the message store API for Mail and Messaging.
Describes how to create and distribute the Desktop Management Interface DMI, how to integrate DMI Service Providers with a product and how to integrate DMI-enabled management applications into a system.
Describes the two programming interfaces provided for access to EELS. The first interface is the propritory interface provided by EELS and the second is the XDAS conformant interface (conforming to the specifications laid down by the ``Open Group'').
Describes the new features in the UnixWare UDK.
Lists the reference manual page sections relevant to software development.
