Appendix E - Command Line Switches

ezCart 2001 provides for the use of a minimal number of command-line switches that can be implemented as needed. These switches can be entered in any order and are not case-sensitive. To add a command-line switch, modify the ezCart 2001 shortcut. Add the switch (as documented below), separating each switch with a space.

Note: You must have a space between the end of the executable (program) name and the first command-line switch.

An example command-line switch would look like: C:\ez2001\ezCart2001.exe /debug /lan

Available Command-Line Switches

Switch	Switch Usage
/Debug	This command-line switch enables additional tracking of information during application execution. ezCart 2001 will add a menu item (Help \| Show Debug Window) to the main display. You can view this additional information in the debug window dialog and/or save the debug file by using a pop-up menu item in the dialog. See the section on Debug Window for more information.
/Lan	Normally, ezCart 2001 stores preferences (configuration information) in the operating system's windows directory of the host PC. The information is stored in an INI file (a text file). Occasionally, users would prefer this information be stored in the application directory (co located with the program). Use the /lan switch to accomplish this. If this switch is used, preferences information is stored in the ezCart 2001 program directory, which might be on a shared LAN drive.

If you start with the default storage location (the windows directory) and later invoke the /lan switch, you should copy the ezCart 2001 INI file to the application directory before restarting ezCart 2001. The INI file name is ezCart.INI.
