I was trying to record CD audio with SoundFX, but it was annoying swapping
between OS3.9's CD player on workbench, and the SoundFX recorder controls,
so I wrote this util that temporarily changes the default pubscreen, runs
a program and returns. With it I was able to get OS3.9's CD player on the
SoundFX screen, even though the CD player has no pubscreen options.

Now I've just added a TV card to my Amiga, and i've found it useful for
moving my TV window to the AmIRC screen.

Full Amiga E source included.


Usage:

  DPRun <pubscreen name> <program & arguments>


Examples:

  DPRun AmIRC C:TV
    - Runs TV on my AmIRC pubscreen

  DPRun SFX-PubScreen sys:Utilities/PlayCD
    - Runs OS3.9 PlayCD on the SoundFX screen
