Hi,

I'm using torcs version for Windows, using the binary installer.

I haven't been able to run torcs without GUI, i.e., in text mode. The comma=
nd wtorcs.exe -r <path to config file> opens up the GUI.
Also, the command  wtorcs -h which should show help doesn't do anything oth=
er than opening the GUI, which leads me to suspect there is a problem with =
command line arguments for torcs in Windows.

Both commands execute normally on Ubuntu.

Versions of torcs I checked on Windows (both don't respond to command line =
arguments):
Torcs 1.3.7 from binary installer
Torcs 1.3.4 plus scr patch from binary installer.

Windows version: 7.

How can I troubleshoot this?

Best,
Liat
