NAME
       runcmd


SYNOPSIS
       runcmd application [args to application]


DESCRIPTION
       Runcmd is a simple tool that work as a wrapper to non-X applications.
       It redirects stdout/stderr of the application to an X window. From that
       window the user is able to abort the running program, to quit
       completely or to restart the application.

       Xfiler uses Runcmd to launch applications.

       Runcmd was originally written by Andre Hentz for the OffiX project,
       then under the name Execute. It was ported by Ulric Eriksson for Siag
       Office, but retains full compatibility with OffiX.


VERSION
       Current version (21 March 2000) is Runcmd 3.3.0 by Ulric Eriksson,
       ulric@siag.nu.
