Learning About the Software
This chapter describes how to use and manage the software that comes with the
JANUS reader, how to change files on drive C, how to create programs for the reader,
how to make more conventional memory available for the software you run on the
reader, and how to upgrade the reader.

What Software Is Provided With the Reader?

The JANUS reader comes with this software:
Auto-Loader Use this utility to change the contents of drive C. You can also
use it to configure the reader to operate in any language supported by DOS
National Language Support (NLS). For help, see "Learning How to Change the
Contents of Drive C" later in this chapter and Chapter 8, "Preparing the Reader
for International Use."
Binary file transfer (BFT) Use BFT over a CrossBar or RF network to connect a
host computer to one or more readers in order to transfer binary files or change
the contents of the reader's drive C. For help, see "Downloading Applications
Across the Network" in Chapter 6.
Boot Loader menu Use this menu to reboot the reader, dump the reader's
conventional memory, reload or upgrade the reader's software, or use Storage
mode. For help, see Chapter 9, "Booting and Resetting the Reader."
Communications Manager Use the Communications Manager to
transmit/receive files and to see the status of the reader's COM port. For help,
see "Running Communications Manager" in Chapter 6.
Configuration Manager Use Configuration Manager to configure the reader.
Configuration Manager consists of several programs that let you change the
reader's configuration by running the Interactive Configuration application
(IC.EXE), using Control mode, scanning bar code labels, typing commands at
the DOS prompt, and receiving commands over an RF link. For help, see
Chapter 5, "Configuring the Reader."
DOS Use DOS commands and utilities to transfer files, create and run
programs, create a RAM drive, and access files on PC cards. The reader
supports many standard DOS 5.0 commands. For help using DOS, see any
DOS manual.
Interactive Configuration application (IC.EXE) Use IC.EXE to configure the
reader. With menus and dialog boxes, this application simplifies the
configuration process. For help, see Chapter 5, "Configuring the Reader."
Interlnk Use this DOS communications program to access the drives on a host
computer as if they were on the reader, and vice versa. For help, see "Running
Interlnk to Transfer Files" in Chapter 6.
