English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Kickstart 1.3 (v34) Execute without c:run

Hey all,

I'm sorry if I should have been able to Google any of this!

First-up is there a good place to find docs/examples specific to the libraries present in Kickstart 1.3?
I've been using amigadev.elowar.com but there's a lot of 2.0 only stuff in there which I'm getting caught-out by.

Next-up is there any alternative to Execute under 1.3/v34 which doesn't require c:run to be available or run to be resident?

If not is there any way to make run resident using the libraries in v34 before calling Execute if I have a copy which isn't under the c: assign?
(I'd rather not mess with the c: assignment)

There is CreateProc but that looks more low-level and I'm finding it hard to find examples
(e.g. I assume I'd need to use the message port to send the new process some start-up messages and then wait for it's exit code on the port?)

Any hints links appreciated
