File Extension RUN

File type: Executable File

Notes about the RUN file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The RUN file type is primarily associated with 'AMOS' by Alpha Micro. RUN files: binary executable files from the AMOS operating system. RUN filex can be created using a BAS file (Basic program source code) and the compiler file COMPIL.LIT, that converts a .BAS file to a .RUN file. To use this file you need BASIC.LIT or BASICP.LIT. AMOS executables and interpreters (like Basic files using BRUN40.EXE in DOS or Java precompiled files using JVIEW.EXE OR WJVIEW.EXE in DOS or WINDOWS).

The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an optional arbitrary command will be executed (for example an installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world. Makeself archives also include checksums for integrity self-validation (CRC and/or MD5 checksums).
