Using BUILDRTM, you can modify the default BASIC run-time modules. The
runtime can be customized to a particular application. You can add
routines to or delete routines from the BASIC runtime.

This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Compiler Versions 6.00 and
6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2 and to Microsoft BASIC Professional
Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2. The
following are the default run-time module names for the applicable
products:

   BC 6.00          BC 6.00b        PDS 7.00
   -------          --------        --------

   BRUN60ER.EXE     BRUN61ER.EXE    BRT70ENR.EXE
