Hello,

I just wanted to share how I solved the problem of making POV-Ray work in
command line mode in windows.

I added another windows command line switch "/CMDMODE" by adding a boolean
variable "command_line_mode" and the following code in pvtext.cpp:

if (stricmp (commandstr, "CMDMODE") == 0)
      {
        command_line_mode = true ;
        while (*s == ' ')
          s++ ;
        continue ;
      }


In pvengine.cpp I added the following piece of code after the "switch
(placement.showCmd)" part:



placement.showCmd = show_state ;
if (command_line_mode) {
    placement.showCmd = SW_HIDE;
}


I also removed the splash screen completely but you can test for
command_line_mode there as well I guess.
