frun  v1.0  (c) 2019  Lorence Lombardo.

Got a program that has no PUBSCREEN option and/or does not run on the
front active screen ?

Well frun changes the default public screen to the front active screen
by default, runs the program synchronously and then restores to the
original default screen, which is typically the WorkBench screen.

If the SCRN option is used then that screen is fronted and used.

Stack can also be specified.

 Usage-

 [OPTIONS] <command>

 Options:-

 STACK value  Launch stack value (default=environment)
 SCRN name    PUBSCREEN name (default=active)
 

For asynchronous/synchronous behaviour you can always do a run/frun. ;)


In "DiskMaster 2.5.30a" with MCX deactivated a configuration example
usage is here:-

AddMenu Crunchers, bgpk R, StdIO "CON:0/12/640/150/bgpk Window";extern c:frun c:r c:bgpk_r XSTK=500000 %s FILE %d%n;StdIO CLOSE


"frun" has been written in 2 languages with much the same logic.
