Actually I work at the bank, and I'm gonna be kind of supervisor of this thing, so I have access to these things.Problem is that I also am supposed to write an app that will be stand-alone and will be able so send and receive messages to&fro swift. And that's where I'd apreciate help. Like what to take care of, what to be aware of etc. Ireally don't want to write 900 procedures to take care of all those different types of messages, so anything helpufll would be great. > > SWIFT, for the uninitiated, is an antiquated international banking wire > system.
