1.3 About this Manual

This manual documents how to use the AG Access library to build a computer telephony application, and provides detailed descriptions of its capabilities and functions. This developer's manual should be used in conjunction with the AG Access and the Function Reference Manual.

This document is targeted to C developers of telephony and voice applications who are either getting started with, or developing with, the AG Accesslibrary. This document defines telephony terms where applicable, but assumes that the reader is somewhat familiar with telephony concepts. It also assumes that the user is familiar with the C programming language.

This document uses the following typographical conventions:
