This manual is aimed at users who wish to program FT applications on a Unix or Windows system with the help of the openFT and openFT-AC programming interfaces. The programming manual is intended as a supplement to the manual "openFT (Unix and Windows systems) - Command Interface". In view of the provided information and references to command descriptions, these two manuals should always be used in conjunction. To understand this manual, it is necessary to have a knowledge of the operating system as well as of the C and/or Java programming languages.
The manual covers Linux systems and Oracle Solaris systems as well as porting to other Unix platforms such as AIX or HP-UX. The operating system-dependent differences are described in detail in the Release Notices supplied on the internet and the respective product CD.
