What does an eval $* do in a runscript shell?



I am looking at some code written for the runscript shell interpreter, and I
was wondering what the "eval $*" is supposed to do?

This was taken from a line which reads:

errstr="$((eval $*) 2>&1)"

Is there any decent documentation available for runscript?

Mark.
