Because MRBC is a bound application, you can run it with MS-DOS or OS/2Ò. MRBC supports CGA, EGA, VGA, and 8514 resolutions.
You can run MRBC from the command line in interactive or silent mode. Use interactive mode when you want or require input. Use silent mode for batch processing and automated builds.
MRBC has the following syntax:
MRBC [/s] name1.bmp [name2.bmp, ...namen.bmp]
| Parameter | Description |
| /s | Specifies silent mode. If the /s switch is used, MRBC determines the resolution of each bitmap based on the first character of the bitmap extension. If the /s switch is not used, MRBC prompts the user for the resolution of each bitmap. |
| name1.bmp, name2..bmp, ...namen.bmp | Specifies the name(s) of the bitmap(s) to be included in the .MRB file. |
Bitmap paths can be relative or absolute. Relative paths are relative to the user’s current directory.
The output file MRBC creates has the same filename as the first bitmap on the command line (name1.bmp) but with an .MRB extension. All output files are written into the current directory.
