Multiple Applications On The Same Wrist Computer - Symbol WSS 1000 Product Reference Manual

This removes the system software and all applications!
Select 2, Use flash as-is, to update the flash while retaining the existing contents.
3. If you select 1, the WWC displays the message:
4. Press Y to continue with the reformat or N to cancel and press <ENTER>.
The WWC 1040 finishes reformatting (if requested), copies the files to the flash disk,
and executes them.

Multiple Applications on the Same Wrist Computer

The system files (from LWP.HEX) fill over 200 KB of the flash disk's 1 MB. Current standard
applications such as STEP or TN clients require between 100 KB and 150 KB of flash disk.
This leaves ample space for installing more than one application on a single WWC 1040.
Wrist computers have been configured to run as many as four applications, with a maximum
of five applications allowed.
Individual applications may require special configurations that can only be set at boot time,
such as RAM disk size. The TN clients require configuring a minimum-size RAM disk (<100
KB) because their limiting resource is program execution space. STEP, on the other hand, uses
the RAM disk to hold forms. Some STEP application implementations use forms extensively
and require a larger RAM disk (>100 KB). The application loaded last defines the size of the
RAM Disk for all applications on the flash disk.
Note: The system files contained in the LWP.HEX have the RAM disk
defined as 80 KB.
Note: It is possible with multiple applications to have applications co-
existing on the wrist computer with conflicting memory requirements.
If this occurs, work out a compromise value that both applications
can work with before loading the files.
If multiple applications are installed on the WWC 1040, a menu is presented during the
initialization process where you select the application to run for this session. Switching
