Ancoras SMS SDK 1.5 for GSM/PCS 


Overview:

The SMS SDK 1.5 takes SMS development to a new level.  It comes 
complete with SMS over TCP/IP sockets API (our NET API), a Call Interface 
(API) with more than 70 functions and an in-process expandable DLL 
interface (our WISC API) for adding new features to the SMS engine or 
server without much hassle.

Embed our SMS technology into your applications or use our provided SMS 
servers for Windows 9x or NT and interface to your database, web site or any 
application which you want to have access to via Short Messages.

The SMS servers are powerful components connecting the PC, Internet 
(TCP/IP) and GSM/PCS environment together.

The Windows 95, 98 & Me version of the Ancora SMS Micro GSM/PCS 
Server is targeted for low end business and desktop applications which dont 
need the security, robustness and performance of Windows NT & 2000 
Workstations or Servers.

The Windows NT & 2000 version of the Ancora SMS Micro GSM/PCS Server 
is targeted for high end business and desktop applications which need the 
security, robustness and performance of Windows NT & 2000 Workstations 
or Servers.

The server is implemented as a native NT Service and can take advantage of 
all the remote administration tools available to administer NT services.

The SMS servers come with built-in network connectivity right out of the box 
and can interface to any environment and programming language which 
supports TCP/IP socket programming.  However, the servers also support in-
process extension DLLs and a call interface API.  

The SDK assumes that you have either MS Visual Studio 6, MS Visual C++ 6, 
MS Visual Basic 6 or Borland C++ 5.x or above.  However, the SDK and its 
tools will work also with other environments as long as the language can 
create import libraries or import units from the DLLs or can use import header 
file definitions (e.g. Visual Basic).  Also, any language that can program 
TCP/IP sockets such as Java can use the SMS engine NET API.

Make sure you have installed your latest service pack for your compiler and 
you are able to build WIN32 applications.  Also, include the SMSAPI.LIB file 
and the SMSAPI.H or SMSAPI.BAS file into your project or built environment.

The SDK is shipped with the latest Ancora SMS Engine files version 1.5.  It 
also comes with examples of complete applications.  You will find network, 
MFC, OWL, WISC and Visual Basic sample files.

All functions and protocols as used by the SMS engine are documented in 
the SDK help file.
