Starting The Program; Optional Command Line Parameters; The Turbo Title Screen - Crown AMB-5 User Manual

2.2 Starting the Program

Before running Turbo, first get a DOS prompt on your computer and then switch to the hard drive and directory
where Turbo is stored. For example, if Turbo is stored in the "turbo" directory, use the change directory (cd)
command as follows: cd \turbo.
To start Turbo, type: turbo14. After a brief delay, the computer should display the title screen shown below
in Figure 2.8.

Note: Turbo may not be compatible with some terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs, such as screen
savers and antivirus software. We recommend that all TSRs are disabled before running Turbo.

2.2.1 Optional Command Line Parameters

Four optional command line parameters (or switches) are available to control the way Turbo initializes. For
example, c:\turbo14 /d causes Turbo to omit displaying the title screen when it loads. The command
line parameters are listed next:
/d Causes Turbo to omit its title screen when it loads.
/f file name Instructs Turbo to load and engage the specified dataframe file. For example, type turbo /
fnormal.diq to run Turbo and engage the dataframe whose file name is "normal. " It is not
necessary to type the DIQ extension. Do NOT type a space between the "/f" and the file name.
/s Directs Turbo to create a DPMI swap file when it loads. This swap file can enable Turbo to
run when the computer does not have much memory. Use this switch only when low
memory causes Turbo to run erratically.
