Creating an Options File

  You can create an options file prior to starting the CDA
  Viewer application.  An options file is a text file with a default
  file extension of .CDA$OPTIONS.

  The options file contains all the processing options for your
  input file format.  Processing options help ensure minimal
  format and content changes while the CDA Viewer processes
  your input file for display.

  An options file is not required.  Default processing options
  are applied automatically when you open a file for display.
  However, you may require an options file if you need to use
  settings other than the default.

  Use the following guidelines to create an options file:

  -   Begin each line of the options file with the keyword for
      the input format, followed by one or more spaces or tabs,
      or by a slash (/).

  -   Specify only one processing option on each line.

  -   Use uppercase and lowercase alphabetic characters, digits
      (0-9), dollar signs ($), and underscores (_) to specify the
      processing options.

  -   Use one or more spaces or tabs to precede values specified
      for a processing option.
