                         AsyncRun V1.8 (15-11-98)

                        (C) 1996-1998 by Marco Lugo

                         This program is ANYWARE
                                    if
                        You use it, please send me
                      an email or anything else. :-)



Wath AsyncRun does is execute a CLI command COMPLETELY in the backgrounds.
That means that no connection exists between the background process and
the window you executed it from.  


Copyright
---------

AsyncRun is written and copyright © 1996-1998 by Marco Lugo.  No parts of
this program  may  be  altered by any means (this includes editing,
reprogramming, crunching, resourceing etc.), except archiving.


Disclaimer
----------

The author is in no way liable for any changes made to any part of the
program, or consequences thereof as he is in no way liable for damages or
loss of data directly or indirectly caused by this software.


Requirement
-----------

To use this program you must have an Amiga with minimum AmigaOS 2.04 and a
68000 CPU.


Arguments
---------

NOASYNC/S           : command isn't started in the background.
STACK/K/N           : stacksize for command.
PRI/K/N             : priority for command.
COMMAND/F/A         : the actual command and it's arguments.

Example             : AsyncRun STACK=8000 PRI=-1 COMMAND=Dh0:Tools/KeyShow

If command is missing, AsyncRun just does nothing.


AsyncRun is very short
----------------------

+-------------------------------+
| AsyncRun    | size 564  bytes |
|-------------------------------|
| System      | size 4016 bytes |
|-------------------------------|
| RunBack (*) | size 468  bytes |
+-------------------------------+

(*) RunBack requires the "Null-Handler" (size 908 bytes), so the true size
    is 1376 bytes.


Credits and Thanks
------------------

AsyncRun is written in assembler, compiled with PhxAss 4.38 by Frank Wille.
The following persons  deserve  special  thanks from me as they made a
significant contribution to the development of AsyncRun:

- Massimo Tantignone           author of the wonderful "VisualPrefs"
                               and my beta tester.

- Dave Alderson                for making the wonderful "Disect".

- Frank Wille                  for making the "PhxAss" compiler.
