+                    Included with GMQCC is a minimal implementation of the QCVM used in many game
+                    engines.  It's primarly used for the testsuite, but you may also use it as a
+                    standalone runtime, or even embed it with existing appliciations.
+                </p>
+                <h2>Running The Standalone VM</h2>
+                <p>
+                    To run the standalone application you need to have a compiled progs.dat, with an
+                    entry function named &nbsp;main&nbsp;  The main function can have any amount of arguments
+                    as the standalone executor allows main to be invoked with your choice of arguments.
+                    An example of invoking the VM:
+                    <pre>$ ./qcvm progs.dat -float 200 #execute passing in 200 as a float to main</pre>
+                    If &nbsp;main&nbsp; doesn't require arguments:
+                    <pre>$ ./qcvm progs.dat #call main with no arguments</pre>
+                    
+                    The standalone executor supports the following arguments for passing arguments to &nbsp;main&nbsp
+                    
+                    <table border="0">
+                        <tr>
+                            <td>Argument</td>
+                            <td>What it does</td>
+                        </tr>
+                        <tr>
+                            <td>-string</td>
+                            <td>Passes in a string to main</td>
+                        </tr>
+                        <tr>
+                            <td>-float</td>
+                            <td>Passes in a float to main</td>
+                        </tr>
+                        <tr>
+                            <td>-vector</td>
+                            <td>Passes in a vector to main</td>
+                        </tr>
+                    </table>
+                    
+                    The order in which the arguments are expected for main, must be preserved, for
+                    example if &nbsp;main&nbsp;'s signature is the following:
+                    <pre>void main(float a, vector b)</pre>
+                    
+                    Then to pass the arguments you'd use the same order:
+                    <pre>$ ./qcvm -float 200 -vector '1 2 3'</pre>
+                    
+                    <h3>Additional Arguments</h3>
+                    The standalone virtual machine has the following optional command line arguments:
