What do the settings normal, pressed, and solid mean when setting up a pangaea map? I'm guessing pressed mean it'll be one of those long thin landmasses that stretch almost the whole length of the map. The other two seem a bit more ambiguous.

Pangaea settings?

This is how Sirian describes the Pangaea settings in his map guide (see the topped post for links):
Natural - Creates a solid core, then adds four to seven "subcontinental" regions which can vary in shape and size, or even be a small island chain. These often reach out in to the sea, forming snaky peninsulas or occupying a "corner" of the main continent with a fat, unpredictable protrusion.
Pressed - Creates a solid core, then adds two to four "larger" subcontinents. This setting also shifts more to the north or south, at random.
Solid - Nothing but the solid core, larger and with smoother shorelines.
