Intermec 6100 Reference Guide

R

The 6100 Computer can run any mouseĆaware DOS program using only DOS.

The Tool Kit provides a DOS mouse driver (61MOUSE.COM), and is used with

any mouseĆaware application, meaning the program runs in landscape mode.
Screen rotation can be handled several different ways.  Two examples are:

"

Using VROTATE.EXE and FONTSEL.EXE

"

For Borland graphics, using the BGI driver (for more information on this,

refer to the DOS Pen Calibration paragraph, in the Supporting DOS ApĆ

plications section, and the BGI Support paragraph, in Appendix A, Sample

Configuration Files)

CIC's PenDOS Handwriter Recognition System is a DOS application.  It is not

included in the Tool Kit.  A license for CIC's PenDOS (specific to the PEN*KEY

6000 Series computers) can be obtained through Intermec.  To order PenDOS,

contact a Intermec sales representative.

Use PenPal to quickly draw screens and develop small, simple applications and

prototypes.  PenPal provides an easyĆtoĆuse interface for both experienced and

relatively inexperienced programmers.  It uses a simple proprietary language for

defining the functionality of the application.  PenPal was developed specifically

for mobile systems.  Because of this, it is of a manageable size for a 6100 ComĆ

puter.  PenPal handles dBase, ASCII, and text files.

For an example of setting up PenPal (DOS), refer to the Setups for Third Party

Applications paragraph, in Appendix A, Sample Configuration Files.
PenPal runs with CIC's Handwriter for PenDOS, or with no recognizer.  With no

recognizer, signature capture is available and character recognition is disabled.
PenPal runtime licenses (specific to the PEN*KEY 6000 Series computers) can

be obtained through Intermec.  To order PenPal runtime licenses, contact a InĆ

termec sales representative.  PenPal development packages can be ordered from

the manufacturer, PenPal Associates.
For an example setup for Handwriting Recognition System, refer to paragraph,

Handwriting Recognition Setup, in Appendix A, Sample Configuration Files.

PenRight! is a development environment that also includes screenĆdrawing capaĆ

bility, as well as C code.  These tools make it possible for an experienced C proĆ

grammer to add extra functionality to an application.  PenRight! Pro was also

developed specifically for mobile systems, and creates programs of a manageable

size for a 6100 Computer.  PenRight!, which is slightly harder to use than PenĆ

Pal, has  dBase support, as well as ASCII text files.  PenRight Pro! development

kits can be obtained through the manufacturer, PenRight!.
For an example of setting up PenRight! (DOS), refer to the Setups for Third

Party Applications paragraph, in Appendix A, Sample Configuration Files.
