- Run v1.1
- --------
-
- 'Run' is a small utility to aid in running command-line oriented
- programs from the S3 shell.
-
- It's an S3 application, with associated sub-directory \RUN, where
- .IMG files can be placed. 'Run' will list these below its icon
- and, when ENTER is keyed on one, prompt for command-line
- arguments for the program, and for the initial path.
-
- Keying Esc at this dialog returns to the shell. Otherwise, up to
- 127 characters can be entered, followed by ENTER, and these will
- be passed on as commands to the named program. Spaces separate
- arguments as usual, but sequences enclosed in double quotes (")
- will be kept together as a single argument. The usual editing
- facilities are available.
-
- The initial path, if specified, will be used as the default path
- by the program being run. So unqualified filenames given on the
- command line will be parsed by the program in the context of the
- initial path.
-
- 'Run' remembers the last set of commands for the last program
- specified, and will use these as the default if that program is
- started again.
-
- 'Run' itself terminates immediately it has launched the selected
- program. If a child program cannot be executed, an alerting
- notifier box is displayed.
-
- 'Run' is freeware and may be used and distributed without
- restriction, provided no fee is charged.
