Run, v1.0.1
(minor bugs fixed since v1.0)

Author: Matt Brubeck <snoopy@wport.com>
System requirements: BeOS PR2, libprefs
License: Free

Run is a small application which accepts a single shell command and executes it. The program is also included as a Tracker add-on which executes commands using the current folder as the working directory.

To install the add-on, run the install script provided, or put the file Run-R into /boot/home/config/add-ons/Tracker/. To use the add-on, press alt-/command-option-R, or select it from the Tracker's file menu.

The Tracker add-on is useful for tools such as make which operate on the working directory; for executing programs or scripts which aren't in the PATH; or for managing files with shell commands like mv *.gif images/ or rm *.zip

Commands are executed in the background, as though they were entered at a shell prompt followed by an ampersand (&).

Run uses libprefs by Jon Watte to remember the window position and text. If you get an error when you try to open 'Run,' then you need libprefs.so. Get it from BeWare in the Libraries section.

This program is free, and you can use, modify, and distribute it however you want. I will release the source after I tidy it up somewhat. Please send comments, bug reports, or suggestions to the author, Matt Brubeck (snoopy@wport.com).

FUTURE PLANS:
- Make the whole thing a replicant
- Display output of shell tools
- Allow multiple windows
