See the Setups for Third Party Applications paragraph, in Appendix A, Sample

Configuration Files, for an example of setting up PenPal (for DOS).
PenPal runtime licenses (specific to the PEN*KEY 6000 Series computers) can

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

Intermec sales representative.  PenPal development packages can be ordered

from the manufacturer, PenPal Associates.
For an example setup for the Handwriting Recognition System, see the

Handwriting Recognition System Setup paragraph in Appendix A, Sample

Configuration Files.

PenRight! is a development environment that can be used across both DOS and

Windows platforms.  It includes screenĆdrawing and C code capability.  These

tools make it possible for an experienced C programmer to add extra

functionality to an application.  PenRight! Pro was also developed specifically for

mobile systems, and creates programs of a manageable size for any of the

PEN*KEY 6000 Series computers.  PenRight!, which is slightly harder to use

than PenPal, has dBase and communications support, as well as ASCII text files.

PenRight Pro! development kits can be obtained through the manufacturer,

PenRight! Corporation.  The resource file, 63PENRT.RSC, is included in the

toolkit (for DOS) on the DOSUTIL disk.
See the Setups for Third Party Applications paragraph in Appendix A, Sample

Configuration Files, for an example of setting up PenRight! (DOS).

The 6200 and 6300 Series computers can run any mouseĆaware Windows

application.  Note that the Windows configuration provided by Intermec is not a

fullĆfeatured Windows package.  This was done to save space in flash memory.

Add the needed files if they were not included.
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.

If handwriting recognition is required, there are two options available.  One

option is provided by a product from Communication Intelligence Corp. (CIC);

the other option is provided by a product from Synaptics.  See the CIC

Handwriter Recognition System for Windows paragraph and the Synaptics

Handwriter Recognition HRĆ1200 paragraph, below, for product descriptions.
If signature capture (bit maps) is required, but handwriting recognition is not

required, this can be done with regular Windows.  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 Professional

Edition has an example of catching ink" in this way.  The extra files for enabling

the Pen Extensions are provided in the toolkit.
Standard and Enhanced modes for Windows are discussed the in Memory

Overview topic, in Appendix B, Common PEN*KEY 6000 Series Information.
Contact your Intermec sales representative to order software and manuals.  Any
