VBDOS [options] [[/RUN] program] [/CMD string]
| /? | Displays available command-line options. | |
| /Ah | Allows dynamic arrays, fixed-length strings, and numeric data to be greater than 64K each. | |
| /B | Allows use of monochrome with color graphics card. | |
| /C:n | Sets COM buffer size. | |
| /Ea | Allows arrays to be moved into expanded memory. | |
| /E:n,m | Limits expanded memory usage for code and overlay caching to n and m kilobytes (K), respectively. | |
| /Es | Shares expanded memory with mixed-language routines. | |
| /G | Updates CGA screen as quickly as possible. | |
| /H | Displays max number of lines possible for your hardware. | |
| /L [library] | Loads specified Quick library. | |
| /MBF | Treats IEEE-format numbers as Microsoft Binary Format numbers. | |
| /NOHI | Allows use of monitor without high-intensity support. | |
| /S:n | Sets programming envionment in-memory size to n kilobytes (K). Smaller values of n will result in more conventional memory for your program. Larger values of n will result in less memory, but greater speed while working within the programming environment. |
|
| /X:n | Limits extended memory usage for overlay caching to n kilobytes (K). |
