Start-options for TrapEd

Usually you would start TrapEd with a double-click. But you can also provide some start arguments, if you start the traped.exe from the DOS-Shell (via cmd).

• -utf8 0 or -utf8 1 (default) and
• -compress 0 (default) or -compress 1.
• -script interactive or -script <filename>, where
  <filename> is an existing file containing a TrapEd-script (see Api).
  When using the -script-option all other options (e.g. -utf8, -compress) are not allowed.

For a detailled description of the exact meaning of the options -utf8 or -compress see File>Open.

If you like to open an attr-file with option -utf8 0 you can simply open a DOS-Shell and type:

C:\> <path-to-traped>\traped.exe -utf8 0 <absolute-path-to-attr-file>

or you just create a shortcut to a specific attr-file. In the properties-pane of the windows-shortcut you insert in "target":

<path-to-traped>\traped.exe -utf8 0 <absolute-path-to-attr-file> .

But be sure that it is save to open all files with the default -utf8 1-option (see File>Open and the Faq - Attach attr-file-extension to TrapEd).
