Command line options :
----------------------LFS can be started using a command line or another program.
A dedicated host mode is available with no hardware draw : "nogfx".
Before selecting host options, you may find it helpful to run LFS
and try out the options on the Start New Game screen - the required
upload bandwidth for those options is displayed on screen.
A command line or a command file is required for dedicated hosts.
NOTE - alternative way to use the command line options :
A command file xxx.txt can be used instead of a long command line.
The command file contains the command line parameters.
The parameters can be spread onto several lines.
The command file can contain comments, starting with two slashes //
Then the command line would be simply :LFS /cfg=xxx.txt (where xxx.txt is the name of the config file)
