Two places I can think of that you might run binaries from BASIC would
be AppBasic and Confix is predisposed for BASIC scripts.
Actually AppBasic seemed to call a binary OK.
The FilerHRun module is not mentioned much these days but it may
have had this type of usage in mind.
It can run a binary directly from BASIC, but once again you have to
perform a wait. Haven't checked to see if SYS$RETURNCODE is possible.
I'm putting PDF's on my chromebook, quite a fast startup,
not a bad pdf viewer, can do it in bed! (Winter here)
I think the PRM's need a separate index built so you can get to
where you want quicker. For one thing the pdf page numbers differ.
