READ & RUN Instructions
-----------------------
"READ & RUN" is executed by typing the command "R&R" at the DOS ">" prompt,
followed by a list of the program files and text files to be read or run,
e.g.:
A>r&r pfroi.com pfroi2-1.doc pfroi2-2.doc strategy.txt read-me.txt
This is most easily done by including the above command string in a batch
file (e.g. "GO.BAT") so a user only needs to type "GO" at the DOS prompt.
Alternatively, if the list of files is terminated by "/S", the files will
be saved by R&R so subsequently the list need not be included following
R&R.
R&R automatically interprets all files with extensions ".EXE" or ".COM" as
program files which may be executed, and all files with extensions ".DOC"
or ".TXT" as text files which may be read. ".BAT" type files may also be
run as program files provide a copy of DOS's "COMMAND.COM" is in the
directory from which R&R is being run.
R&R uses about 64K of memory when running a program in addition to the
memory required by the object program and its data. If the program is very
large memory-wise or your PC does not have much memory you may need to
run the program outside of R&R.
