Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

This command will produce a version of your program that
will run outside QuickBASIC.

Note: Programs that use BRUN45.EXE are smaller than the
      same programs in stand-alone form. They also preserve
      COMMON variables and open files across CHAIN
      statements; stand-alone programs do not.
 
      Use the stand-alone option if you distribute your
      program to others.
