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.
