OK, so I see the help for blitzcc spits up as this:

---

blitzcc [options] [sourcefile]

Where options can be:

-h : show help
-q : operate quietly
+q : operate very quietly
-d : compile and run in debug mode
-k : print a list of all keywords to stdout
+k : print a list of all keywords plus 'quickhelp' to stdout
-o exefile : create an executable called 'exefile'.

---

My question is - how does the IDE do it's "check for errors" operation (F7)? Is it just running a compile and quickly shutting down the process when it starts running or are there commands not documented above?

hm...my blitzcc.exe prints out another commandlist:

Usage: blitzcc [-h|-q|+q|-c|-d|-k|+k|-v|-o exefile] [sourcefile.bb]
-h         : show this help
-q         : quiet mode
+q                : very quiet mode
-c         : compile only
-d         : debug compile
-k         : dump keywords
+k         : dump keywords and syntax
-v                : version info
-o exefile : generate executable

so '-c' would be the one for just-error-checking i guess...

Well ... how odd. I must have just copied the list from the help file and not the actual DOS prompt. Thanks for the heads up! I see it now...
