NOTICE:       This is a minor update. While no bugs could be found in 
              the original version, an oddity was pointed out by a user.

              If one was to simply enter EXECUTE at the DOS prompt and 
              press RETURN, EXECUTE would attempt to get a lock on a 
              non-existant file and failing that, prompt the user with
              "object is not of required type".

              This has been fixed. We have included the source with 
              this distribution.

Filename:     Execute - Direct replacement for AmigaDOS Execute command.

Purpose:      Allows execution of any UNIX script from the AmigaDOS Shell.

              This is a direct replacement of the DOS command Execute.
              From the DOS Shell, you can execute any UNIX shell script.
              It passes the script on to the specified interpreter 
              for execution. Usually, #!/bin/sh, but may be awk, sed,
              perl etc ....

              If the 'S' bit on the script is set, the script can be
              executed by simply typing the script_file_name at the 
              DOS prompt.

              Execute will not interfere with the normal operation of
              Amiga DOS or Arexx scripts.

Requirements: OS 2.04 and up. Any Amiga. 
              Ixemul.library is not required.

Installation: Rename the existing AmigaDOS Execute command. (for safety)
              Copy the new file to the same directory where the original
              Execute resided. (sys:c). This is IMPORTANT because the     
              system depends on Execute for normal system startup.

              The file is residentable.

              Note: This command is implemented as a wedge into the original
              AmigaDOS Execute command and is completely system transparent.
