The program will prompt you for the starting and ending date time and the time step for the report period, the layer and the starting and ending columns and rows for the window to be extracted. Default values for the time period are computed from the metadata in the INFILE header, and may be accepted by hitting the
RETURN
key.
If you want to run this program in batch mode (from a script), the recommended way to develop the script is to run the program once interactively noting the pattern of responses to prompts which generate the particular analysis you want. The pattern of responses then becomes either a command-input file which is redirected into the program in the script, or becomes a "here-document" fed into the execution.
