xrun is a quick X11 utility to run commands and keep a history file of
commands run, a browse facility is also included.

To extract xrun.tgz, under linux I use 'tar zxvf xrun.tgz'
this will create a xrun directory and files, not all tar programs have the
z option so you may have to 'gzip -d xrun.tgz' then ' tar xvf xrun.tar'

To create xrun type 'make'
To install in /usr/local/bin type 'make install'
To remove tidy the source directory type 'make clean'  
To create a backup in a backups directory off the parent directory type
 'make backup'
