While conventional RAM is scarce, a command line interpreter must make effort
|
| - |
|
8 |
to reduce its memory footprint when launching applications. SvarCOM does that
|
| - |
|
9 |
by installing a small executable module in memory, called RMOD (for Resident
|
| - |
|
10 |
MODule). SvarCOM pre-sets RMOD so knows how to execute the external program
|
| - |
|
11 |
and removes itself from memory, letting RMOD do the job. RMOD executes the
|
| - |
|
12 |
application, waits for it to finish and then calls back SvarCOM.
