You can stop or exit DOS by running a native Trakker Antares .BIN 
application. Once you run a .BIN application other than DOS.BIN, the 
terminal stops or exits DOS. There are two ways to run an application: 

•  Use the Run Program reader command. For help, see “Run Program” 

on page 112. 

•  Use the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System. For help, see the 

configuration chapter in your user’s manual. 

You can customize DOS on your Trakker Antares terminal by: 

•  changing AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS and customizing drive 

A. 

•  adding or removing external ROM-DOS commands that are available 

on drive B. 

•  creating a DOS application or TSR for drive C. 

Intermec recommends that you create all the files on your PC, and then 
download the files to your terminal. The next section explains the DOS 
software tools that you need to customize drive A and B. 

The DOS software tools listed in the following table are necessary for 
creating and downloading files to drives A and B. 

MAKE_A.BAT 

Creates a file named DRIVEA.BIN that contains the drive A 
image. The maximum size of drive A is 64K. 

MAKE_B.BAT 

Creates a DRIVEB.IMG file that contains the external ROM-
DOS commands for drive B. You can copy the DRIVEB.IMG 
file from the PC to drive C on the terminal. 

PUT_A.BAT 

Downloads the drive A image file (DRIVEA.BIN) from a PC to 
the terminal. This tool actually replaces all files on drive A. 

 

 

The DOS software tools, ROM-DOS commands for drive B, and drive A 
files are available from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com. 
(Choose Support, Product Support, and then Downloads.) For additional 
help, contact your local Intermec service representative. 

 

Note: The self-extracting executable file that you download from the 
Intermec web site includes the DOS software tools and support files; 
ROM-DOS commands; and drive A files. LISTFILE.DRV,
