5. Command Line Parameters, Parameter Files, Batch Mode
Fractint accepts command-line parameters that allow you to start it with
a particular video mode, fractal type, starting coordinates, and just
about every other parameter and option.
These parameters can also be specified in a SSTOOLS.INI file, to set
them every time you run Fractint.
They can also be specified as named groups in a .PAR (parameter) file
which you can then call up while running Fractint by using the <@>
command.
In all three cases (DOS command line, SSTOOLS.INI, and parameter file)
the parameters use the same syntax, usually a series of keyword=value
commands like SOUND=OFF. Each parameter is described in detail in
subsequent sections.
