+Dwarf Fortress Command Line Options
+
+
+Dwarf Fortress currently offers one command line option, a world generator, suggested by genmac. You can use it as follows:
+
+FORMAT: "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -gen <id number> <seed> <world gen param title>
+EXAMPLE: "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -gen 1 3498 "MEDIUM ISLAND"
+EXAMPLE: "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -gen 2 RANDOM CUSTOM6
+
+This will open a silent, introless dwarf fortress, generate a world with the given id number and seed, export the region files and a picture, and finally quit. The window remains open so you can see what's going on. You can still abort world generation while it is running. If you attempt to create a world number that already exists, it will abort immediately. \ No newline at end of file
