    NAME
           empgui - invoke the EMPRESS GUI

    SYNOPSIS
           empgui [-q] [-pcm] database [application [parameter...]]

           empgui -m [-q] [-pcm] database application

           empgui -l [-q] database application [application ...]

    DESCRIPTION
           This  command  invokes  the EMPRESS GUI.  If an application name is not
           provided, the GUI application development environment will  be  invoked
           with the specified database.  The database specified must be an EMPRESS
           database initialized for Empress GUI.  If an application is  specified,
           and  options  other  than -q are not specified it will be executed.  If
           the application expects parameters, they must be supplied.

           -q        Quiet mode. The EMPRESS startup screen is not shown.  In  the
                     case of compile or link, no message will be printed.

           -m        Application  Module  Manager.  Go directly to the Application
                     Module Manager, bypassing the Application Manager screen, for
                     the application specified.

           -c        Force compile of the module(s) specified.

           -l        Link  the  modules of the specified application(s), compiling
                     the modules if necessary.

           -pcm      Use a private color map.
