Recent discussions about the difficulty in starting Mozilla from
ProNews/2 and PMMail have prompted me to write RUN! It is now
available at:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/run_050.zip
It's final location will probably be:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/run_050.zip
From the readme:
----
RUN! can eliminate the batch files and config.sys entries often needed
to start 'helper-apps' (e.g. opening your web browser from your email
client). It sets the current drive, directory, & BeginLibPath to the
directory containing the .exe, starts the program, then terminates.
USAGE - if you want to start xyz.exe from MyApp:
- copy run!.exe to xyz's directory
- rename it to xyz!.exe
- update MyApp to have it start xyz!.exe
OPTIONS - insert these options between the '!' and the '.exe';
they are not case-sensitive. For example: xyz!pl.exe
- General:
L - set LIBPATHSTRICT (requires Warp 4.0 Fixpack 13(?) or later)
N - do not close VIO windows when the program terminates
C - use this if command-line parameters aren't passed to the app
- Session Type:
P - PM V - VIO window F - Full screen D - Default
overrides the default type for this program (if possible)
----
If you try RUN!, be sure to read the section labelled "Miscellanea"
for additional info. Send comments, bug reports, and feature requests
to me at the address below.
Like they say, "HTH"...
