Some of the standard Windows dialog boxes are too large.  For example, the file

open dialog does not fit.  Running in landscape mode requires a different display

driver, VGAP.DRV.  This is the standard display driver for Windows and is not

customized to the smaller screen of the 6200 or 6300 Series computer.  You need

to make changes in the SYSTEM.INI file for correctly aligning the pen.  Look in

the [Pen Driver] section of SYSTEM.INI.  See the 6300 Forum on the BBS for

more details and a sample configuration.

Even though the onscreen keyboard from Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing

(SKB.EXE) is available in the toolkit, it is too wide for the portraitĆoriented

screen on both of the 6200 and 6300 Series computers.  Since it is impossible to

use both landscape and portrait modes within the same application in Windows,

it is not advisable to run SKB.EXE in landscape mode.  If you need an onscreen

keyboard that runs in portrait mode, you may want to write your own keyboard

application or consider ordering another keyboard application.
The Configurable Popup Keyboard from Intermec is suitable for portrait screens.

There are other useable development environments.  Here are some guidelines

that can help you determine whether a particular environment is viable for a

6200 or 6300 Application.

1. How much space is required?

Many environments assume that the target machine is a desktop or laptop

with virtually unlimited hard drive space.  This is certainly not the case

with a PEN*KEY 6000 Series computer; memory is still at a premium.  For

example, Power Builder is a very popular environment for development.

However, just to get an application started, Power Builder uses more than

3 MB of DLLs in addition to Windows just to run a program to display

Hello World" on the screen.  Power Builder applications tend to be large

and slow; at this time, it is not recommended.

2. (Windows) How are the dialogs being stored?

This is a question you must ask if you want to use a tool that provides one

environment for both DOS and Windows applications.  If the dialog

information is stored as separate files, you may find it very hard to get

adequate response time for drawing the screens.  Also, some of these tools

insulate you from the Windows APIs; consequently, it becomes very difficult

to use any of the APIs that are provided for you.

3. The 6200 and 6300 Series computer uses a processor that is common to

many recent PCs, as described in the Introduction to the 6200 and 6300

Series Computers paragraph.  But, be sure to test the performance of your

application on a comparable computer.

4. (Windows) Standard Mode Windows is smaller and runs faster than

Enhanced Mode Windows.  However, you should use Enhanced Mode only if

a particular program or environment requires it.  Some applications and

communications protocols require the Enhanced Mode.
