Norand Mobile Systems Division of Intermec Technologies Corporation provides a “minimal” Windows 95 operating system configuration for you if you want to reduce the size of the storage footprint required by the system. The mini- mal Windows 95 load contains all of the necessary files to boot and bring up the Windows 95 operating system, includ- ing IrDA support, which is typically used in a mobile com- puting environment.
It is possible that files needed by some applications may not be present in the minimal load. Most of the excluded files are files located in the Windows System directory. For ex- ample, many DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) in any full windows load may not be in the minimal load. By using utilities in the toolkit, you should be able to determine which files are needed by the application being developed.
The required files can then be added to the minimal load. Also, many of the unused Microsoft Windows 95 compo- nents can be uninstalled from the Windows configuration, if not needed by your application. Then, the associated files can be deleted from the minimal load to further reduce the storage requirements.
