<p> X Window System (Linux, BSDs, etc.)</p>
<blockquote>
<p> If there are any arguments that don't begin with
&lsquo;-&rsquo;, Mini vMac will try to mount them as disk image
files. See the &ldquo;<a href="hardware.html#floppy_drives">Floppy Drive</a>&rdquo;
section of the Hardware Reference. </p>
<p> If there are any unrecognized arguments beginning
with &lsquo;-&rsquo;, Mini vMac will print out
copyright and usage information and quit. </p>
<p> &ldquo;-r [rom_file_path]&rdquo; or &ldquo;--rom [rom_file_path]&rdquo;:
Mini vMac will try to load the ROM file from [rom_file_path].
See the &ldquo;<a href="hardware.html#rom">ROM</a>&rdquo;
section of the Hardware Reference. </p>
<p> &ldquo;-d [directory_path]&rdquo;:
Mini vMac will use [directory_path] instead of the directory
containing the application when looking for things
such as the ROM or disk images named disk1.dsk, disk2.dsk and so on.
(See the &ldquo;<a href="hardware.html#rom">ROM</a>&rdquo; and
&ldquo;<a href="hardware.html#floppy_drives">Floppy Drive</a>&rdquo;
sections of the Hardware Reference.)
</p>
<p> &ldquo;-n [app_name]&rdquo;:
Mini vMac will use [app_name] instead of the name
of the application file for things such as the title
of the Mini vMac window.
See the &ldquo;<a href="hardware.html#screen">ROM</a>&rdquo;
section of the Hardware Reference.
</p>
<p> &ldquo;-display [display_name]&rdquo; or &ldquo;--display [display_name]&rdquo;:
XOpenDisplay will be called with [display_name]
as the argument.
See the &ldquo;<a href="hardware.html#screen">Screen</a>&rdquo;
section of the Hardware Reference. </p>
</blockquote>
<p> Windows </p>
<blockquote>
<p> Mini vMac expects that the command line string passed to
it is a list of arguments separated by spaces. </p>
<p> If there are any arguments that don&rsquo;t begin with
&lsquo;/&rsquo; or &lsquo;-&rsquo;,
Mini vMac will try to mount them as disk image
files. If an argument begins with a double quote
(&lsquo;"&rsquo;), then all characters, including spaces, until
the next double quote are part of the argument.
See the &ldquo;<a href="hardware.html#floppy_drives">Floppy Drive</a>&rdquo;
section of the Hardware Reference. </p>
</blockquote>
<p> <a name="dnd"> <b> Drag and Drop </b> </a> </p>
<p> A disk image file can be mounted by dragging its icon
onto the Mini vMac window.
