AutoCAB
Product Reference Guide 2-17
If the terminal has been cold reset, the AutoCAB checks to see if there is a
DiskOnChip\CAB directory on the terminal. If not, the program just exits.
If the CAB directory is found, the program will step through the files in the
directory, calling the Windows CAB file installer for each of the files. Once all
of the CAB files have been installed, the program will exit.
As an example, assume you received an application program as a cab file
named INVENTORY.CAB. If the cab file were to be copied to the Falcon and
then double clicked, it will be installed and the cab file would be deleted. If the
terminal were to be cold reset, the application would be lost, requiring the cab
file to be downloaded and installed again. By copying the cab file to the Dis-
kOnChip\CAB directory and allowing
AutoCAB to run, the application is
installed but the cab file is not removed. So if the terminal is cold reset, the
current installation will be removed, but
AutoCAB will automatically reinstall
it.
