- RUNNER v1.0 Copyright ⌐1990 by Howard Silver

- (for Windows 3.0 or higher)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- RUNNER is a program that allows you to run ANY program, batch file, or
- .PIF file from an icon that sits at the bottom of the screen. You can
- define as many RUNNERS as you need.
-
- RUNNER is useful for running frequently used programs or batch files.
- You can define multiple instances of RUNNER, each with its own program
- defined. The title of each icon is defined by you, so you know
- which is which. To execute the program that is defined for that
- particular icon, just double click on the icon, or choose RUN from its
- System Menu.
-
- For example, you could have one RUNNER icon defined to run a disk-parking
- program, and another RUNNER icon could be defined to run a special batch file
- that you use a lot. How you use RUNNER is totally up to YOU!

- INSTALLATION:
-
- The installation of RUNNER is very simple. The following are the files
- necessary for RUNNER to work properly:
-
-
- RUNNER.EXE
- main RUNNER program
- RUNDLL.DLL
- dynamic-link library containing several routines used by RUNNER
- RUNNER.HLP
- Windows v3.0 HELP file (not necessary, but extremely useful)
- RUNNER.INI
- private initialization file containing all the icon definitions and user
- settings (automatically created if it doesn't exist)
-
-
- Simply copy all the files to any directory that is on the DOS PATH statement.
- The reason the directory must be on the PATH is because if the current
- directory is changed, RUNNER will not be able to find RUNDLL.DLL or
- RUNNER.HLP. Therefore, it is simpler to copy all the files to the WINDOWS
- directory.
-
- However, if you want all the files in a special directory, you must edit the
- RUNNER.INI file and add the following line under the [RUNNER] header:
-
- rundir=[full path of directory of your choice]
