Description Unknown 2002-10-23 14:17:50 UTC 
1. Install OpenOffice 1.0.1 on WinNT4.0 SP6.
2. from the command prompt get into <OpenOffice Installed dir>/program and try 
to run soffice from command line with // or /? as argument
ie:
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org1.0.1\program>soffice //
ISSUE: OpenOffice1.0.1 crashes and the reproducibility is "always".

Though // or /? are not valid args the application _should not_ crash.
On RHLinux 7.2, when the same steps are executed an error message ["error 
loading document //"] pops up. Which is understandable. Even on WinNT if 
anything apart from // or /? is given as args, say, hjhfs<junk> the same error 
message pops up, which is fine.
The access violation occurs in TL641MI.dll.

Thank you for using and supporting OOo.

On developer build 643, starting with the arguements:

  //

leads to an error message.

Starting with

  /?

does not crash OOo, but it doesn't finish loading.

Partially duplicated on Win NT 4.0 SP6a, OOo 643.

ATR: I can't reproduce the crash if you start the office with //. If I
use the /? I only see the startup-logo for a short time, but no office
starts.

I close this but as fixed, because in the next OOo version it is
possible to start the office with the parameter -help to get a list
with all possible parameters.
