- RUN=[drive:][path]filename[options] executes a program DURING BOOT (so not Presentation Manager apps). More than one RUN-statements can be added in config.sys;
It is of importance in which position in config.sys a RUN-statement is placed. Before the first RUN-command can be interpreted, all DEVICE-statements must be initialised. In contrast to the CALL-statement, the programs added after a RUN-command can not "communicate" with the user, so no input in any form is possible;
-CALL=[drive:][path]filename[options]; this statement has an equivalent function as RUN, so running apps while booting, butthe programs CAN accept intake and output. More than one lines are accepted. These will be executed in the order they are typed in config.sys.
- Another way to launch programs (without the startup folder) is via Regedit2.exe. See my website at December, and a fully listed pdf-file for Regedit2.exe will be published, with all details. (www.jonasbuys.easynet.be)
For more information, send an e-mail or see the previous messages on the forum, which deal a lot about the problems that can arise with startup folder, and how to handle them.
