- ********* NOW UPDATED FOR WINDOWS 3.0 *********
-
- RUN.EXE is a Windows program that executes other windows programs.
- Run was created because I needed some way to execute more than one
- application from the DOS command line and I could not find anything
- that would do this for me (without costing me memory or more time
- than I could afford) hence Run was born.
-
-
-
-
- To use Run just execute it from the DOS command line as:
-
- WIN RUN <APPNAME...>
-
- APPNAME... can be one or more application names separated by commas that
- are either in the current directory or along the path variable. For example:
-
- WIN RUN CONTROL, CLOCK.EXE, TERMINAL
-
- Will execute the Control Panel, Windows Clock and the Windows Terminal
- program in that order as though the user had clicked on them from the
- MSDOS executive.
- Run assumes that the program will have an extension of .EXE if no
- extension is supplied.
-
-
-
- To use Run from the MSDOS Executive just select File/Run and type in:
-
- RUN <APPNAME...>
-
- APPNAME... here is the same as above.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Starting with version 1.1 of Run you can add a command line to the
- program that you are telling Run to execute. For Example:
-
- RUN CONTROL, WRITE TEST.DOC, CLOCK
-
- Will run the Control Panel and the Run will execute Write with the
- command line "TEST.DOC" so that Write will open the file upon
- startup, and then will execute the Clock application.
