Introduction

When OZ V4.6 was released it provided a new feature of installing and running additional applications in RAM. Normally, applications are blown via special software to Eprom and Flash cards, then inserted into one of the external slots in order to be installed into the running Z88 computer.

This means that rather than taking up space on the application side of the Flash card with applications that are only occasionally used, the user may install and remove applications when required. RAM-based applications is also a considerable improvement for developers, making it much faster to install and test software.

RAM applications may be

• downloaded from our file archive from the internet at https://sourceforge.net/projects/z88/files/Z88 RAM Applications/ or 
• fetched from the File Area of the Flash card.

They are normally supplied in a zipped format and need to be unzipped first on your desktop computer or using UnZip popdown (if this is installed on your Z88).

OZ V4.6 provides the feature of installing an application in Z88 RAM memory user space. This operation has been designed to be as easy as possible for the end user. It is performed from the INDEX with two commands.

Installation and removal via Index command and Filer

INS : Installs a new application and RMV : Removes an application.

...

Removal is performed. Press  to return to the INDEX.

 Please note

• When several application have been installed by one installation (eg. Unzip and ZipUp applications), removal is performed by highlighting the first application in INDEX.
• When removing an active application, if an 'IN USE' error box is displayed, Kill the relative suspended activities and retry the removal again.

For creating your own .APP file, please refer to Installation and removal of RAM Applications in Developers' Notes
