David,
Here are some other possibilities (taken from the MapBasic 6.0
documentation):
-nosplash = MapInfo runs without showing its splash screen, although the
main MapInfo window still shows.
-server = MapInfo runs without showing a splash screen or main window. Use
this argument when you want MapInfo to act as a behind-the-scenes server to
another application (using DDE).
-automation or -embedding = MapInfo runs without displaying a splash
screen or main window. Additionally, MapInfo registers its OLE Class Factory
with the OLE subsystem, which allows MapInfo to act as a behind-the-scenes
OLE server to another application.
-regserver = MapInfo registers its OLE capabilities in the registration
database, then exits. Run MapInfo with this argument once, when you install
MapInfo. Note that MapInfo automatically registers itself when it is run
normally. Note very well that this registers everything about the MapInfo
product -- OLE Automation, OLE Embedding, etc.
-unregserver = MapInfo removes all references to itself from the
registration database and exits. Use this option at uninstall time to remove
MapInfo from the system registry. Using this argument unregisters everything
that the -regserver option registered.
-helpdiag = This argument sets a flag in MapInfo, so that MapInfo displays a
diagnostic dialog every time you press F1 for online Help. For more
information on Help issues, see Online Help.
Most of these are not particualrly useful except if you're writing DDE
applications...And then if you're doing that...you're dating yourself.
Hope this helps!
