EZBuilder Tutorial
Using EZBuilder, you enter simple commands to create menus, screens, and
transactions and to define menu items, labels, and data fields. You can also set
attributes, define function keys, and specify other processing, such as calculations, for
the application. Once you have defined the application, EZBuilder generates the
application program code.
Converting Applications Between JANUS and TRAKKER Antares
You can develop applications that run on both the JANUS

devices and the TRAKKER
Antares terminals. However, there are some differences that you need to plan for in
your applications. The TRAKKER Antares is an intelligent terminal. A JANUS device
is a DOS-compatible computer. Because of these differences, there are some features
and functions that are different between the JANUS PSK and the TRAKKER Antares
PSK.
In general, a C/C++ application written for TRAKKER Antares terminals requires
minor changes to run on a JANUS device. However, an application written for a
JANUS device may require more changes to work properly on a TRAKKER Antares
terminal. JANUS applications developed with the JANUS PSK and compiler libraries
are relatively easy to convert to an application for the TRAKKER Antares terminals.
There are several methods you can use to convert applications to and from JANUS
devices and TRAKKER Antares terminals. For help on converting applications, see the
TRAKKER Antares Programmer’s Software Kit Reference Manual.
Converting IRL Programs Between the 95XX and 246X Terminal
One main difference between the 246X stationary terminal and the 95XX terminal is
the type of program or application that you can run on the terminal. The 246X terminal
can run a Microsoft C/C++ application while the 9560 terminal runs IRL (Intermec
Reader Language) programs.
The 246X terminals support IRL by using IRL to C conversion programs. You can
convert IRL programs to Microsoft C/C++ applications that use the TRAKKER
Antares PSK functions. For information about converting IRL programs, contact your
local Intermec service representative.
