IBM Command Lines
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
These command line arguments are available with the IBM/MSDOS
|
|
ZIP interpreter, versions 'L' and up, and all EZIP versions.
|
|
|
|
The first four are listed in the reference card; the last two
|
|
are undocumented.
|
|
|
|
; /P INITIALIZE PRINTER THROUGH INT 17
|
|
; /M MONOCHROME
|
|
; /C COLOR
|
|
; /W WINDOWED SCROLLING
|
|
|
|
; /K<n> AMOUNT OF MEMORY TO USE IN KBYTES
|
|
; /G<gamefile.ext> RUN THE GAME FILE SPECIFIED
|
|
|
|
/K is used to limit the amount of memory used by the game,
|
|
which normally takes as much as it can get (up to the size of the data
|
|
file). The frequency of disk accesses (never in the case of full
|
|
preload) increases as memory is reduced.
|
|
|
|
For example, Zork1 normally uses around 85K but can be run
|
|
with as little as /K25. Specifying less than 25K causes a "not enough
|
|
memory" error message.
|
|
|
|
/G makes the interpreter use a different data file. For example,
|
|
ZORK1.EXE normally runs ZORK1.DAT, but can in general run any other
|
|
ZIP game.
