   Turbo Pascal requires that every program must have included
within it the run-time pascal library.  When there are many
small programs on a disk, there is a large overhead of storage 
space for those duplicate pascal libraries in every program.

   TRUN is a program which acts as a run-time loader for any 
CHN-type program.  TRUN loads the pascal library into memory 
and then chains to a CHN-type program, specified either on the 
command line or entered at a program prompt.  This saves 8k+ of
disk space per program, saves on RBBS download transfer times, 
and eliminates the need to configure every Turbo program to 
your terminal (TRUN is configured, CHN files are generic).  A
program to be run is specified on the command line by using the
syntax:   TRUN filename<cr>.  If no extension is specified, the
loader will supply CHN as the default extension.  

Example:  TRUN FRAP<cr>   would chain to program FRAP.CHN.  

To use an extension other than CHN for chained programs, an 
extension may be specified on the command line.

Example:  TRUN FRAP.C30<cr>   would chain to program FRAP.C30.

   If no program is specified on the command line, the program
will display an instructional message and then ask for the 
name of the program to be run.  The same filename syntax is
used with this prompt.  A blank line entered ends the program.
