Description

bits

A bit-flag whose meaning is as follows:

Name	Description
EI_USE_ENV	use env_file file for initialization
EI_USE_PATHS	use paths for initialization
EI_ALLOW_DEMO_MODE	If SilverEngine is not licensed, then use demo mode, which has a limited feature-set, otherwise quit
EI_BITS_RESERVED	Reserved for internal use by SDC

env_file

If EI_USE_ENV is set in bits, this contains a path to a startup environment file (for instance, "silver.env").

path_exec

If EI_USE_PATHS is set in bits, this contains a path to the SilverScreen execution directory (the default is the ex sub-directory of the installation location)

path_drawing

If EI_USE_PATHS is set in bits, this contains a path to the SilverScreen drawing directory (the default is the drw sub-directory of the installation location)

path_library

If EI_USE_PATHS is set in bits, this contains a path to the SilverScreen library directory (the default is the lib sub-directory of the installation location)

Remarks

You should use either EI_USE_ENV or EI_USE_PATHS, not both. EI_USE_ENV takes precedence if both are specified.

When EI_USE_PATHS is specified, the default environment file silver.env must be present in the silver or home directory.
