This is a hard thing to capture because I've never suceeded in outputing this to
a text file.  I used to have a Dos compile of Phalanx where it was easy to get,
but with the Win32 you have to use phalanx -h  and then hit the pause button
real quick because the whole thing disapears real quick, and copy it from the
Dos box using the stuff in the upper left hand corner.

Phalanx XXI
Usage:    phalanx [options] [<moves> <minutes> [<increment in seconds>]]
          phalanx [options] [<seconds per move>]
          phalanx bench
          phalanx bcreate [options]
Options:  -t <transposition table size in kilobytes>
          -f <fixed search time in seconds>
          -x <+/->  xboard mode on/off        default: on
          -p <+/->  permanent brain on/off    default: off
          -s <+/->  show thinking on/off      default: off
          -o <+/->  polling input             default: on
          -b <+/->  opening book              default: on
          -r <resign value in centipawns>     default: 0 (no resigning)
          -e <easy level 0...100>             default: 0 (best play)
          -l <+/->  learning on/off           default: off
          -v        print version and exit
          -P <primary book directory>
          -S <secondary book directory>
          -L <learning file directory>
          -g <log file name>
Examples: phalanx -c+ -s+ -o - -x- -f 60 -t4000
          xboard -fcp "phalanx -l+ -r800"

That's probably the whole thing, as much as my reactions will get, sorry if I
missed something.
