This event is never broadcast.  NORAPM.DLL immediately suspends the system

when it receives it and broadcasts a CRITICALRESUME event upon resuming.

The system is suspended without sending a notification broadcast in advance.

This event is usually caused by a power failure.  Drivers should typically disable

and reenable themselves when receiving this message.

Because of the efficacy of the suspend mode, NORAND systems do not currently

implement a standby mode.  In addition to STANDBYREQUEST, the

USERSTANDBY and USERSTANDBYRESUME messages are also ignored or

are never generated.

Norand Mobile Systems Division continues to refine its use of the APM OEM

event codes listed in APMCODES.H.  See Appendix B, Common PEN*KEY 6000

Series Information.  If you want to process a specific event, contact Customer

Support Center at 800Ć755Ć5505 (U.S.A. or Canada) or 425Ć356Ć1799 and inquire

whether that event is available on your particular system.
Generally, you should attempt to use APM 1.1 standardized event codes

whenever appropriate; however, we may choose to make additional events

available on systems with extended functionality.  The Norand OEM codes listed

in APMCODES.H represent currently defined codes but do not imply that all or

any OEM events are available on any particular system.

NORAPM.DLL exports an API to make power management functions available

to applications and drivers.  Two APIs are supported:

"

A protectĆmode Windows DLLĆstyle interface for Windows applications and

drivers and, eventually,

"

A realĆmode software interrupt API for DOS drivers running in real mode.

The following paragraphs describe the intended usage for each function and

structure in NORAPM.H.  Please see the header file listing, in Appendix B,

Common PEN*KEY 6000 Series Information, for the actual parameter and

return code definitions.
To access the functions exported by NORAPM.DLL, include the NORAPM.H and

APMCODES.H in your program and link to the functions you want to use at

runtime by using the Windows 

L

oadLibrary

 and 

G

etProcAddress

 functions.

Note that each function prototype in NORAPM.H comes with a companion

 that you can use to create a pointer variable to the function.
