If you insert the disk the old way it'll avoid the auto-boot, so: -drive1 1 -disk1 "%1" will ensure drive 1 is present as a floppy, and insert the specified disk into it. Though I still like the idea of -noboot as a single modifier on the existing behaviour to avoid the boot. The general -<blah> and -no<blah> for bool flags (as used by MAME too) is nicer than requiring a 0/1/true/false/yes/no parameter to each one. > -- you could then have "Boot with SimCoupe" and "Open with SimCoupe" > commands in the file association, if you wanted to. I like it... I was editing the NSI to remove .cpm file association and have added the extra lines for that. If/when -noboot is available the association can be changed for the simpler syntax. > Also, on platforms that support standard output, "-help" and "-version" > would be cool, as well as warning messages for unregonised options. The existing OSD::DebugTrace() writes to stderr in most versions, using OutputDebugString to write to any attached debugger (or utils like DebugView) on Win32/WinCE. I guess that would be fine for unrecognised options, if you're happy for it to ignore them and continue. For the version/help cases it'd be better to use a MessageBox on Win32/WinCE, and perhaps just stdout on the others? Adding another varargs function to each OSD.cpp would cover that in a suitable way on each. Feel free to have a hack and send patches :-) Si
