       -x     make outfile XML

       -h4    make outfile HDF4 (this is the default)

       -h5    make outfile HDF5

       -d     make a XML based definition file used for validating NeXus files (i.e. remove the data).

       -o keepws
	      the XML file created should preserve whitespace.

       -o table
	      the XML file created should write the data in a table format where the columns and rows are easily imported  into  spreadsheet  pro-
