Running APPX in a 64 bit environment

This page explains how to run 32 bit APPX in a 64 bit Linux/Unix environment. Note that 64 bit Windows installations have built in support for running 32 bit applications, so no extra setup is required.

Customizing the runtime environment

The APPX runtime environment includes many standard screens, Scan screens, Disposition screens, etc. This page shows how you can customize these to more closely resemble your applications.

APPX Environment Variables

Environment Variables are used to modify the behavior of APPX at runtime. This document provides an overview of their use, and links to definitions and instructions for setting them.

Moving APPX Files Between Platforms

Most Intel and RISC platforms use different 'Endian's, or byte ordering. Therefore, it is necessary to perform special processing to move APPX files between them.
