[Quickfix-developers] Newbie set up question

[McAndrew, P. <pa...@no...>]

I'm new to FIX and QuickFix.  We have a current application using MSMQ
to receive messages and send them to a client in FIX Protocol format.
They want to add CancelReplace and my project is to see if QuickFix
would be a good way to rewrite the application.  Currently the
application needs to be started manually every morning.  They would like
to use a service in its place.  My questions:

1.	Is QuickFix a service or would I need to write an application to
initiate it?
2.	How do I send the connection strings?
3.	If I need to receive messages and send them do I need both an
initiator and acceptor applications?

Thanks for all your help.
