- CDRun 1.1 - Copyright © 1995 Oliver Roberts
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- This is a very simple command line command, which I decided to write
- myself after finding nothing similar on Aminet. I find CDRun most
- useful, especially when running programs that assume that the current
- directory is the same as the location of the program (e.g. games). It
- saves me having to write a script to CD to the directory and execute the
- command. It is also very handy when used in conjunction with my
- ButtonMenu utility.
-
- Usage
- -----
- CDRun is only intended to be run from a Shell, and under Kickstart 2.0
- or higher. The AmigaDOS template for CDRun is simply:
-
- COMMAND/F
-
- Example: CDRun Stuff:Games/SKID2/Skidmarks2
-
- Basically, the above will change the current dir to "Stuff:Games/SKID2",
- execute Skidmarks2, and when Skidmarks2 is quitted the current directory
- will be restored to the original.
-
- To run commands asynchronously prefix CDRun with the AmigaDOS Run command.
-
-
- Distribution
- ------------
- CDRun is public domain and freely distributable, mainly as it didn't take
- a tremendous effort on my part (it took a few minutes to code). The source
- is provided in this archive - if you use CDRun in your own code please
- credit me in the docs or something :)
