writemaggames = on | off
default: on

The writemaggames command can be used to disable palview4 from actually writing the HTM files for each of the games in a magazine. All the rest of the magazine processing will take place, but the game files will not be written. This can be useful in two situations. In the first, you may have already generated all the game files in a previous use of the program on your magazine. In this case, you may want to get palview4 to skip writing the games again. The second reason why you may want to use the writemaggames command is to suppress the writing of games so that you can use a magazine page to actually generate a game index. In this case, you would also disable the writemaglinks command as well.
