Solutions: APPC - Advanced Peer-to-Peer Communications: An applications programming interface from IBM. APPC was originally designed for mainframe environments. It allows programs on different computers to talk to each other. The two programs talk as peers or equals. This differs from traditional mainframe communication in which the mainframe is host or master and the other computer is terminal or slave. APPC is used to build distributed applications. These applications include several parts, each running on a different computer. APPC is the set of rules that govern how the different parts communicate over the network. APPC is not a program itself, but a tool to build programs on LANs. This definition was taken from the LAN Glossary.
