Runner - A Desktop Alternative
Version 1.40 Copyright (c) 1990 by Dave Thorson
If you need to get started right away and don't want to read
RUNNER.DOC, follow these steps:
1. Be sure all the files from RUNNER14.ARC are in the same
folder or directory.
2. Double-click on RUNNER.PRG to load Runner.
3. Press the Help key from Runner for more info.
4. Exit Runner by pressing Undo, or click on the "Exit
Runner" line on Runner's main screen.
Note: The configuration file included is what defines all the
programs and menu structures, and it's close to what I use. You
won't be able to run the programs listed unless your drive is set
up exactly like my hard disk, but you can get a feel for how I use
Runner and you can add your own programs to try things out. To
start from a clean slate, rename RUNNER.CFG to RUNNERDT.CFG ("DT"
are my initials).
This should be enough to get you browsing around, but you probably
won't understand or know about everything without reading
RUNNER.DOC. You may want to print RUNNER.DOC for reference; it's
about 23 pages. It's in ASCII format but I've made no effort to
put page breaks in the right places -- you may want to load it
into your favorite word processor and place page breaks where you
like before printing it.
You should also know that Runner is SHAREWARE, that if you decide
to use Runner I expect you to pay for it. I'm asking $5.00 to
$15.00 (as if anyone's really going to spring for 15?) to be sent
to me:

Anyone who sends $10.00 or more, along with a disk and return
address, will receive Mini-Run, a Runner companion program that
uses one fourth the memory of Runner when running an external
program. See RUNNER.DOC for details!
