- If you have a late enough version of DOS, you can use the INSTALL=
- syntax to run a program. I personally use "funky" which prints its
- arguments on standard out and then waits for a key to be pressed. It
- returns the value of the key as the exit code (but I do not use this).
- I have found that you can run ANY program from INSTALL=. The one I
- use is equivalent to "PAUSE" in a batch file. I liberally sprinkle
- them throughout my CONFIG.SYS when I want to see the results in human
- time.
