This chapter describes developments of the XAcc protocol after 
'Classic XAcc' (11/28/92). Last changes have been made on June 15, 
1995.

Since the last official documentation for the XAcc protocol, some 
extensions have appeared, which are now summarized here. Some of these 
extensions have arisen from the special forms of data interchange 
between the text processor That's Write and the address manager That's 
Address or its sucessor no|Address. However, these extensions are also 
accessible for any other applications, and the use of these 
application names in the following documentation is only for purposes 
of serving as examples (That's Address = TA and That's Write= TW). The 
extensions comprise:

   . MailMerge protocol

     The actual mail merge output of TW is serviced via this protocol.

   . Remote-Mailmerge protocol

     Permits an application itself to initiate a mail merge output in 
     TW.

   . Inquiery protocol

     Serves for obtaining information about the makeup of a database.

   . Request/Reply protocol

     Serves for general data interchange between applications.
