The 6100 Computer can run any mouseĆaware Windows application.  Note that
the Windows configuration provided by Intermec is not a fullĆfeatured Windows.
You may find that files you need have not been included.  Add the files if needed.
Borland's C compiler includes a utility called TDUMP.  You can run TDUMP on
an executable file to display the files or libraries called by the executable.
Handwriting Recognition
If handwriting recognition is required, there are two options available.  One opĆ
tion is provided by a product from Communication Intelligence Corp. (CIC); the
other option is provided by a product from Synaptics.  For descriptions, refer to
the CIC Handwriter Recognition System for Windows paragraph and the SynapĆ
tics Handwriter Recognition HRĆ1200 paragraph, on page 1Ć13.
If signature capture (bit maps) is required, but handwriting recognition is not
required, this can be done with regular Windows.   Simply trap the mouseĆmove
and mouseĆpressed events and manually draw the ink.  The ink then can be
saved as bit maps and compressed, if necessary.  Microsoft Visual Basic ProfesĆ
sional Edition has an example of catching ink" in this way.  The extra files for
enabling the Pen Extensions are provided in the Tool Kit.
Standard and Enhanced modes for Windows are discussed the in Memory OverĆ
view topic, in Appendix B, Common PEN*KEY 6000 Series Information.  Contact
