About This Manual
The OSI/FTAM Responder Manual provides instructions and reference information 
needed to write application programs, or to use interactive applications, that use the 
services of the Compaq OSI/File Transfer, Access and Management (FTAM) responder 
process.  This manual has the following objectives:
Introduce the Compaq FTAM responder and how it fits into the Compaq FTAM 
architecture
Describe conformance and interoperability issues for the Compaq FTAM responder
Provide information about the Compaq FTAM responder needed by the programmer 
writing FTAM applications (or the user using interactive FTAM applications) on a 
remote system, which may or may not be a Compaq system
Provide information about the Compaq FTAM responder and its virtual 
filestore (VFS) needed for problem solving on the Compaq system
The descriptions that follow provide you with an overview of the content of each section 
and appendix in this manual.
Section 1, “Introduction to Compaq OSI/FTAM,” provides a general introduction to 
the Compaq FTAM software from the point of view of programmers writing remote 
FTAM applications that use the services of the Compaq FTAM responder.
Section 2, “Conformance and Interoperability,” presents information about 
standards conformance and interoperability of the Compaq FTAM responder.
Section 3, “Compaq FTAM Responder Operation,” describes the architecture of the 
Compaq FTAM responder and the way messages flow to and from the responder.
Section 4, “Compaq FTAM Responder Support of ISO FTAM Functions,” describes 
the ISO FTAM functions supported by the Compaq FTAM responder.
Section 5, “Suggestions for Development of Remote Applications,” provides 
suggestions for how to write your remote FTAM applications in order to take best 
advantage of the features of the Compaq FTAM responder.
Section 6, “Responder Management,” discusses considerations that are related to the 
configuration and management of the responder process and its VFS on the Compaq 
system, but that you  might need to know when writing or using FTAM applications 
on the remote system.
Appendix A, “Compaq FTAM Responder Diagnostic Messages,” provides cause, 
effect, and recovery information for all diagnostic messages that originate in the 
Compaq FTAM responder or VFS.
