RUNAPP.EXE Version 1.0
Released Christmas, 1993

The Story
----------

I have some relatives who are Windows users and who cannot manage at
the DOS command prompt.  Unfortuneately, they have many DOS-based games
which do not work well in a Windows V8086 environment, sharing hardware,
etc.

So, as a Christmas gift I've written RUNAPP, which will launch a DOS 
application by first shutting down Windows, then running the app.  
When the app is exited, Windows automatically starts again.  My
relatives need not bother with the DOS prompt.  As long as they can
find the application EXE or COM file using a Common Dialog File Open
dialog, they are all set.

(For you programming hacks, RUNAPP is just a fancy wrapper for the
Windows ExitWindowsExec() function.)

I've tried RUNAPP with Id Software's DOOM, and it works great.

Just run the program to see how it's set up.  Make sure you use
a full path to the DOS .EXE.

I'm distributing this program as FreeWare - pass it along to as
many people as you like - with no obligation whatsoever.  Please
distribute in the form of RUNAPP.ZIP.  Of course, I'm under no obligation 
as to the performance or fitness for a particular purpose, etc, etc....

I've no tcp/ip or ftp service to the internet, so anyone who has this
service can upload to cica or simtel if you wish.

Feedback is always welcome.
