SUMMARY
=======
The SNA Server APPC Programmer's Guide included with SNA Server 2.0, 2.1 and
2.11 incorrectly documents a sema parameter in the description of the
[MC_]RECEIVE_AND_POST function.
On Windows NT, the sema parameter is an auto-reset event object obtained by
calling either the CreateEvent or OpenEvent Win32 functions. Because the Win32
APPC interface uses an auto-reset event object, the application does not need to
manage the state of the event when calling [MC_]RECEIVE_AND_POST.
On OS/2, the sema parameter is either a RAM or system semaphore.
This correction is documented in the SNA Server 2.11 Enhancements Guide.
