I have implemented a "tachyon" script to execute the Tachyon VM. If files are given on the command line, then those files are compiled and executed in the order given. If no files are given, then the shell is started. The VM supports these command line options:

-time report the compilation and execution time -ast dump the AST -lir dump the LIR -hir dump the HIR -asm dump the ASM

Note that the specification of command line arguments has changed a little bit. Before it was necessary to give the option followed by the value, such as

-bootstrap true -x86_64 true

Now, the value is joined with the option with an "=" as in

-bootstrap=true -x86_64=true

In the special case that the value is "true" the value can be omitted, i.e.

-bootstrap -x86_64
