Re: Alternate file types for RUN ?

Changing the extension would have itself caused pain - as many command files

What I was suggesting is first look for .EXE, and only if it fails, then
look for architecture specific type (.EXE_VAX, .EXE_ALPHA, .EXE_8086 etc)

This way, default behaviour is not changed. But you can then setup some
applications to have multiple architectures in the same file name
(ifferent extensions) and eahc gets activated with the same command (
RUN CHOCOLATE for instance).
