Allapi is NOT the name of the program; it is the name of the
former website. If you go to that website (www.allapi.net), there
are several links shown on the left. The first link (labeled
"API-Guide" allows you to download the program). The third link
shown on the left is labeled "API List". Click that link and you
will be shown the index for the API List where you can view the
API functions and their descriptions. For example, click the "S"
in the alphabet shown in bold text near the top of the list and
you will see the list of API functions whose names start with "S".
Click one of them (for example, SendMessage) and you will see a
nice description of this function along with links to examples
showing the function in use. It is THIS LISTING that the original
website designers cautioned you not to download as they used to
update and correct the listing dynamically (when the site was
actively maintained that is). They didn't want you copy that list
as you could very likely end up with an out-of-date copy shortly
after downloading it. My guess at the idea behind them supplying
the API Guide program is that it had a version and you could
easily see when it was out of date (by checking the version) and
download an updated copy. This gave you something you could use
off line in an emergency, but I think the expectation was that, if
possible, you would visit the website and use the always
up-to-date list directly.
> it is not a list, I can email it to you if you like, 2.21 MB.
First of all, I could always download it directly from the website
so there would never be a need for you to email it. Second, I've
been using that website list and the API Guide for many years now;
I've been aware of its existence from back when the website was
actively being maintained.

Why do you say that?
