SUBJECT: Version 1.31a - Apex II¨ Operating System
COMMUNIQUE: 217
DATE: 08-14-98

Compsee announces the release of Version 1.31a Operating System for the Apex II Portable Data Terminal with 128K FLASH memory configurations.

This new release provides improved terminal operation in two different areas. Those areas include:

1) Parentheses Operations

The parenthesis handling routine had been amended to ensure more predictable operation when parenthesis extended both below and above address 10000h.

2) "Sleep-Mode" Operations


Every 7.5 seconds an interrupt is generated by the wakeup circuitry in the APEX II. This interrupt is used to power down the unit after a user defined period of time. To ensure more reliable and predictable results we have made improvements that will completely restore internal memory and totally re-write the LCD with the same information that was present prior to entering into the "sleep mode".
