Command Line Switches

The command line options are:

/S:n Set speed to n. 100 is normal, smaller numbers (minimum 1) are faster.
/C Use CGA graphics - this is only needed if you have genuine CGA but the game isn't detecting your adapter properly. It nearly always should.
/V Use EGA/VGA graphics - this is only needed if you have a genuine EGA/VGA or better but the game isn't detecting your adapter properly. It nearly always should.
/Q Quiet mode, no sound after the initial ball creation on the first game.
/? Display this list.

/S is optional (you can just specify a number) but harmless, and retained for compatibility with Digger (another remastered Windmill game), which requires it only in otherwise ambiguous situations.

/Q doesn't completely disable sound, you can still toggle it with the F9 key.
