Re: ICF Programming Snafu's! I Don't want to EVOKE!

[Andrew Borts <adborts@xxxxxxx>]

Also Eric,
The flow seems to be as follows;
Pgm A Opens ICF FIle
Pgm A Acquires Device
Pgm A Signs onto Tandom (Leased connection...)
Pgm A Writes an Invite
Pgm A Waits for response from tandom
Pgm A Receives communications for the day from the Tandom
Pgm A Responds to Communications from the Tandom
Pgm A Sends a Signoff Request
Pgm A Ends...

The examples seem to be the following
Pgm A Opens
Pgm A Evokes a Pgm on System B
Pgm A  ---> Pgm B Communicate...
Pgm A <---- Pgm B Communicate
Pgm A Ends ------ Pgm B Ends....
You have a better example?
