There is no discrepancy between the document (which I found here, I believe: http://download-west.oracle.com/otndoc/oracle9i/901 _doc/win.901/a90164/ch1.htm#1033815 , subtitle "Using the ORADIM Utility to Administer an Oracle Instance") and the output of running oradim -h:

C:\oracle\ora81\bin>.\oradim
ORADIM: <Befehl> [Optionen]. Bitte lesen Sie das Handbuch. Bitte geben Sie einen der folgenden Befehle ein:   Erstellen Sie eine Instanz, indem Sie die folgenden Parameter angeben:     -NEW -SID Sid | -SRVC Dienst [-INTPWD Kennwort] [-MAXUSERS Zahl] [- STARTMODE a|m] [-PFILE Datei] [-TIMEOUT Sek.]   Bearbeiten Sie eine Instanz, indem Sie die folgenden Parameter angeben:     -EDIT -SID sid [-NEWSID sid] [-INTPWD Kennwort] [-STARTMODE auto|manuell] [-PFILE Dateiname]

          [-SHUTMODE a|i|n] [-SHUTTYPE Dienst|Inst|Dienst,Inst] [-TIMEOUT Sek.]
  L÷schen Sie Instanzen, indem Sie folgende Angaben machen:     -DELETE -SID sid | -SRVC Dienstname
  Fahren Sie Dienste und Instanz hoch, indem Sie die folgenden Parameter angeben:

    -STARTUP -SID sid [-USRPWD Kennwort] [-STARTTYPE srvc|inst|srvc,inst] [- PFILE Dateiname]
  Fahren Sie Dienste und Instanz herunter, indem Sie die folgenden Parameter angeben:

    -SHUTDOWN -SID sid [-USRPWD Kennwort] [-SHUTTYPE srvc|inst|srvc,inst] [- SHUTMODE a | i | n]
  Fragen Sie nach einem Hilfesystem, indem Sie die folgenden Parameter angeben: -? | -h | -help

May I reask the question, what (or why) is there a -STARTTYPE srvc and inst.
