I've compiled and run the samples\openmaple\simple\simple.c from Maple 9.5. How do I get the program to run without displaying the spash screen? When running executables from a command line, this splash screen is annoying. The -q (for quiet) command line arguement does not work. Other command line arguements are evaluated by the api. Give it a non-existant arguement and it gives a usage reply as expected. The openmaple api spawns the spash screen found in bin.win\oms32.exe. Renaming this file causes an error: "Error launching OpenMaple splash screen." I can't delete the file, The error message is just as annoying as the splash screen.
