The best place to get updated information about PC API is to read the README.HP
file that comes with Allbase/SQL PC API.  The README file is where HP can
notify customers of enhancements and fixes that are not included in the lastest
manual release.
 
I have snipped the matrix describing network stacks supported by HP's API.
