CDRun 1.1 - Copyright © 1995 Oliver Roberts Introduction ------------ This is a very simple command line command, which I decided to write myself after finding nothing similar on Aminet. I find CDRun most useful, especially when running programs that assume that the current directory is the same as the location of the program (e.g. games). It saves me having to write a script to CD to the directory and execute the command. It is also very handy when used in conjunction with my ButtonMenu utility. Usage ----- CDRun is only intended to be run from a Shell, and under Kickstart 2.0 or higher. The AmigaDOS template for CDRun is simply: COMMAND/F Example: CDRun Stuff:Games/SKID2/Skidmarks2 Basically, the above will change the current dir to "Stuff:Games/SKID2", execute Skidmarks2, and when Skidmarks2 is quitted the current directory will be restored to the original. To run commands asynchronously prefix CDRun with the AmigaDOS Run command. Distribution ------------ CDRun is public domain and freely distributable, mainly as it didn't take a tremendous effort on my part (it took a few minutes to code). The source is provided in this archive - if you use CDRun in your own code please credit me in the docs or something :) Author ------ I'm the same person who wrote ButtonMenu, F1GP-Ed and F1GP_LapSet.

This means the CDRun executable is now pure, and can be used with the AmigaDOS resident command. ========================================================================= V1.0 - 16 July 1995 First release.
