That might be a problem, since BRUN is a BASIC command. The alternative, 
if one knows how, is to convert the BINARY program to a SYSTEM file, then 
place it as the first system file (other than ProDOS) on the disk. Then 
it will run automatically. I am not sure whether a simple change of 
file-type will work.
