DOS .EXE applications are customer defined. You have 380K total RAM 
that you can use for DOS .EXE application execution space. You can also 
configure a DOS RAM drive. If the RAM drive is configured, your 
application execution space is reduced by the amount of the RAM drive. 
The remaining RAM is the Malloc/free memory pool. 

Before you can run DOS applications on the terminal, you need to start 
DOS. After you start DOS, you can switch between DOS and the 
TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System as needed. 

You must run the file DOS.BIN to start DOS. There are two ways to start 
DOS: 

•  Use the Run Program reader command. 

•  Use the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System. 

The instructions in this section briefly explain both methods. For help 
using the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System, see your user’s manual. 
For help using the Run Program reader command, see Chapter 5, “Reader 
Command Reference.” 

 

Note: If you run DOS on the terminal, you cannot use the standard RAM 
drive E for native Trakker Antares .BIN applications. Disable the RAM 
drive before you start DOS. For help, see “RAM Drive Size” on page 223.
