Cross Platform Support

The emulator programming interfaces are provided across a variety of workstation platforms. On some platforms 16- and 32-bit interfaces may be provided. Note that support for emulator APIs on a particular platform requires a licensed copy of IBM Personal Communications for that platform.

The following table shows the emulator API support on various platforms:
