- -?
- Displays the version information on this TNOS
executable.
- -A devices
- Defines the maximum number of SLIP/AX25-capable serial
devices allowed. This number must be the same or smaller
than the number of physical ASY serial ports defined. If
this setting is higher than the number of serial devices
(set with the '-P' option), then both are set to this
value. The default number of devices is 5.
- -B processes
- Defines the maximum number of BBS processes allowed. The
default number of processes is 40.
- -D definition
- Defines a new environment variable for use within TNOS.
The definition may be in one of two formats, label=value,
or label. If the latter form is used, the value of
label will be set to the name of the label. This
command is only available to executables that have had
the SCRIPTING flag defined in their compile.
- -E
- Instructs TNOS to import all environment
variables from the OS. This command is only available to
executables that have had the SCRIPTING flag
defined in their compile.
- -P serialdevices
- Defines the maximum number of ASY serial devices allowed.
If the setting for the '-A' option is greater, than both
are set to that value. The default number of devices is 5.
This command is available on release 2.21 and greater.
- -S manager
- Sets default session manager. (Unix versions only)
- -T manager
- Sets session manager to be used for the trace session. (Unix
versions only)
- -U timeout
- Sets the timeout value for the auto-update feature,
available to those with the TNOS Browser feature compiled
in. The timeout waited to make the connection and check
for updates defaults to 30 seconds. Give a new value here
for 'timeout' to change this. Those sites NOT connected
to the Internet may want to use a '-U 0' here, to disable
the 30 second check on booting. This command is available
on release 2.21 and greater.
- -V
- Give the same output as with the -v options, but
also prompts you at each command, as to whether you wish
to execute it or not. Also good for diagnosing a troubled
autoexec.nos file.
- -a interfaces
- Defines the maximum number of AXIP interfaces allowed.
The default number of AXIP interfaces is 16. This command
is only available to executables that have had the AXIP
flag defined in their compile.
- -c
- Sets a TNOS 68000 system to use Curses for it's screen
display management. There are no systems of this
type available outside of the author's bench. This
command is only available to executables that have had
the TNOS_68K flag defined in their compile.
- -d rootdir
- Sets the TNOS root directory to rootdir.
By default, the rootdir is '.' for Unix and '/' for MS-DOS.
- -e
- Use EGA mode for the screen output, giving either a 43 or
a 50 line display (depending on the display adapter). (MS-DOS
version only)
- -f configfile
- Instructs TNOS to use the file configfile
as a file to define alternate definitions for the
internal TNOS filename strings.
- -g colorname
- Sets the foreground color for TNOS.
- -h heapsize
- Sets the initial heapsize to a value other than the
default of 100K. This value is the size in bytes, which
defaults to 102400. (MS-DOS version only)
- -k colorname
- Sets the background color for TNOS.
- -l lockdirpath
- Sets the directory used for the LOCKDIR path. (Unix
version only) This command is available on release 2.22
and greater.
- -m
- Displays the TNOS features MAP information on this TNOS
executable. This command is available on release 2.20 and
greater.
- -n
- Disables tracing to a separate session. This will make
all trace output go to the TNOS console, instead
of to the session accessible via the F9 function
key. This command is only available to executables that
have had the TRACE flag defined in their compile.
- -o sessions
- Sets the maximum number of interactive console sessions.
This cannot be set to less than 5, The default for this
is set in the mkconfig.tcl development program, and is
usually set to 20.
- -r circuits
- Defines the maximum number of Netrom open circuits
allowed. The default number of circuits is 20. This
command is only available to executables that have had
the NETROM flag defined in their compile.
- -s sockets
- Sets the maximum number of sockets available within TNOS.
The default number of sockets is set up in the mkconfig.tcl
development program, and is usually set to 40.
- -t
- Disables internal timers - for debugging purposes only. (Unix

- -v
- Startup in verbose mode. This causes all commands in the
autoexec.nos file to be displayed before they are
