Quarterdeck Office Systems programs commandline-switch list [Last Edit: 4/4/92] Switches are preceded with / unless otherwise specified and may be given with either the full name or the abbreviation (where present). Switches which accept arguments may use either an equal sign '=' or a colon ':' between the switch and its argument. DV.EXE switches (documented and otherwise) updated for Version 2.42: Version Ab Name 2.0x 2.2x 2.3x 2.4x Comments -- --------------- ---- ---- ---- ----- ----------------------------- AE ABORTONERROR .. ...6 14 02 /AE=Y or /AE=N AS ALWAYSSAVEMAP .. ..56 14 02 /AS=Y or /AS=N C8 CLI8042 .. .... .. .2 CV CODEVIEW .. 0256 14 02 adj keyboard use for debugger CL COMMLOAD .. ..56 14 02 /CL=x DM DELAYMSMOUSE .. ...6 14 02 /DM=Y or /DM=N DI DOSIDLE .1 .... .. ..

[2] /HW is immediately followed by a colon or an equal sign, 1 to 4 hex digits indicating the interrupt number, another colon or equal sign, and "L", "D", "F", "0", "M", "U", or "V" (DV 2.3+). "F" = Foreground, "V" = Virtualize, "0"/"L" deal with disabling DV's handling of an IRQ. This switch is designed to accomodate failings in DOS application programs which violate Quarterdeck's view of "standard" programming procedures (though at least one variant is to correct a failing in DV itself, but QOS will not divulge which). [3] /FB, /FO, /SB, and /SO are immediately followed by a colon or an equal sign and 1 to 4 hex digits [4] /MR and /MT expect a hex number (/MR up to 4 digits, /MT up to 2 digits) [5] DV uses two banks of eight interrupts to relocate the hardware interrupts from their defaults of 08h-0Fh and 70h-77h. /XB specifies that a particular bank of interrupts not be considered available for the relocation; the specified hex number must be a multiple of 8 (i.e. X0 or X8). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EMS.COM switches: EMS.COM Version Ab Name 5.0x 5.1x 6.0x Comments ---- ------------------ ------------------ ----------------------------- CR CREATE 1 02 create a handle with name,size CFAST CREATEFAST 1 02 create handle in fast EMS CSLOW CREATESLOW 1 02 create handle in slow EMS DIR 1 02 display current handles FREE 1 02 free given handle HELP 1 02 display help screen LOAD 1 02 read handle data from file NOPE NOPAUSEONERROR 1 02 don't wait for key on error PAUSE 1 02 wait for key after cmdline parsing REN RENAME 1 02 change handle's name RES RESIZE 1 02 change handle's size SAVE 1 02 save handle data in file ?
