Setup guide

f <filename> Use a custom menu file, where <filename> is the name of the menu file. For information on
custom menus, see the application help.
F Force the application to install new fonts that you added to the /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base directory (and the
/usr/lib/DPS/AFM directory, if you have also installed the corresponding font metric file). See the application
help.
h To list all start-up options, use the h option. Running the application start-up command with the -h option
does not launch the application.
H Specify the remote host name.
i Remove all clips from the project.
J <project> Define the project that appears in the Project Management menu when you start the application,
where <project> is the name of the project you want to use. If you start the application with both the J and
U options, the application bypasses the Project Management menu.
L Disable writing to the .log file. The application keeps a log of your actions in a text file in your application
home directory. This file is usually cleared and recreated every time the application starts.
M Define the amount of memory assigned to frame buffering. This option overrides the default settings, or
if it has been uncommented, the value set by the MemoryApplication keyword in the init.cfg file.
N Use Burn.
p <n> On multi-processor machines, start the application using less than the full array of processors, where
<n> is the number of processors to be used. Normally, the application uses all available processors.
U <user> Define the user that appears in the Project Management menu when you start the application,
where <user> is the name of the user you want to use. If you start the application with both the J and U
options, the application bypasses the Project Management menu.
v Initialise the media storage volume (all projects).
WARNING When you use the v option, all data on the storage is deleted, with no possibility of recovery.
NOTE Initialising the storage also removes all audio clips from the project.
V Start up with workspace.
W <workspace> Specify the media storage name.
Z Starts the application, and skips the integrity check.
