APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACES Our software is a stand-alone Windows application, which doesn’t need to interface with other applications or the web to operate. All of the files needed to run the program will be included with it. The software is going to be built using a GUI created by the MFC framework, using Visual C++ 6.0, which uses a Windows API to operate (so a GUI API most likely isn’t needed). Some sort of interface to program data, stored in an Access 2000 database, will be needed in order to add, remove, and modify account information.
