Operation

HIMEM.SYS is installed by MS-DOS during CONFIG.SYS processing, is currently required by LOADCEPC.EXE, and provides real-mode access to memory above one MB.

3.LOADCEPC.EXE is executed during the AUTOEXEC.BAT processing. On the 602 Computer, Windows CE itself consists of the NK.BIN binary file that contains the memory image of the Windows CE configuration. LOADCEPC.EXE copies this file image into RAM and then jumps to its starting address.

4.After NK.BIN (Windows CE memory image) is loaded and executed, Windows CE is in control of the system. From this point, only Windows CE functions are acces- sible to application developers for the 602 Computer.

5.TASKMAN.EXE (the Windows CE shell program) is executed by Windows CE. The first time CE is execut- ed, “Task Manager” performs pen calibration and writes the calibration results to the registry. The reg- istry is then flushed to persistent storage.

“Task Manager,” then searches for the

“\Storage Card\Wince\WCESTART.INI” file. If the file is found, the contents of the file are parsed for any user application to launch and execute. If no applica- tion is found, “Task Manager” allows manual browsing of the files system and execution of programs.
