EZBuilder Tutorial (
Part No. 066449)
EZBuilder is a software code generator. 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. The Simulator Editor mimics a terminal and lets you test the
application on your computer.
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 terminal 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
The terminals support IRL (Intermec Reader Language) 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.
