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.¢
