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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Use the Run DOS command to perform any single DOS task
without exiting from the QuickC environment. Do not use
this command to start TSR programs, such as MSHERC.COM.
 
  ■ Type the program name and arguments in the text box.
    The program must be in one of the directories in the
    current PATH environment variable.
 
    You may use predefined macros. Macro names are
    case-sensitive.
 
  ■ Select the Prompt Before Returning option to see
    the program output before returning to QuickC.

names must be in all uppercase. The Source window is
the current window unless the cursor is in the Notepad.

  $FILE1  Name of file in Source window
  $FILE2  Name of file in Notepad window
  $FILE   Name of file in current window
  $PROJ   Base name of program list file; if no program
          list, base name of current source file
