Running Max 3.01's SILT.EXE with no command line arguments yields this:


Command-line format:

  SILT  [[-x]...]

Valid switches are:

  -p      Generates Maximus .PRM file, and Opus .PRM files (if requested).
  -a      Generates msg/file data files. (Implies -am and -af.)
  -am     Generates message area data.
  -af     Generates file area data.
  -m      Generates *.MNU menu data files.
  -x      Generates all of the above.
  -2a     Generates optional Max 2.0-compatible AREA.* files (normal)
  -2u     As above, but use underscores instead of dots in area name
  -2s     As above, but use short area names (no divisions)
  -u      Unattended mode -- tells SILT never to prompt for user input.

If no switches are specified, then SILT defaults to generating everything
except the Max 2.x-compatible area files.
