If›you  have a small program you can load›it  in  and  run  while you still have›WQNRDos loaded and still have FULL Dos›support  functions  as  well. You just›have  to  make  some  modifications to›your modular program to interface with›it.   You  can  even  write  your  own›modular     programs    The    WQNRDos›documentation  explains  how  to do it›all.  There  are FIVE Modules included›on  side  one of the WQNRDos disk with›the  extender  MOD.  The documentation›will  tell  you  more  about  them and›that's on side two.››           RTIME8 Support››     No  matter  what  type of DOS you›use   WQNRDos   fully  supports  ICD's›RTIME8  cartridge.  All you have to do›is  own  the  RTIME8  cart and use the›file  RTIM8.COM  and your all set. But›if your a SpartaDos user you all ready›have  that support built into WQNRDos.›Other  Atari Dos users have to use The›RTIME8.COM file.››            More Commands››     There  are more commands than any›Dos  and Wedge 2.1 combined. With over›65  commands  you yourself add more at›anytime  you  wish  just  by writing a›line  module  and  loading  it  in and›saving  it  back  out  with the latest›command(s)  you  installed.  It's that›simple.››          The Copy Buffer››     WQNRDos   has  the  LARGEST  copy›buffer  of any program or Dos for your›ATARI  8-Bit  computer.  WQNRDos' is a›variable  buffer.  It  will adjust its›size  to  what ever utilities you load›in  upon  boot  up after Dos. The more›utilities the smaller the copy buffer.›Example  while Beta testing WQNRDos we›had  at  one  time the following files›loaded in other then DOS.››     We  had  and  still  do  load  in›RD.COM,      TDLINE.COM,     CONF.COM,›WEDGE.COM,BATDOER.COM,  BMENU.WDA  and›still  have  a  copy  buffer of 16,412›Bytes.   Now   without  any  utilities›loaded  in  you  have a copy buffer of›17,436   bytes.   So  with  all  those›utilities  loaded  it in there is only›1,024  bytes  taken away form WQNRDos'›copy buffer.››     Now when you load in a Module the›smallest  copy  buffer  will  still be›over 8k. But when you clear the module›out  of  memory you not have your full›size copy buffer back.›
