The Gtopo command line arguments

Usually gtopo is invoked with the unadorned command:
gtopo
This is entirely adquate for normal use. There are a variety of command line arguments to gtopo. Most of them provide ways to do things that are better done using the config file. One option can be quite useful when troubleshooting a new installation:
gtopo -f file.tpq
This tells gtopo to view a single file which is in TPQ format. Gtopo will display the file (if at all possible) and set the current location to be the center of the file. No attempt will be made to index or handle a topo archive.

This can be useful to verify that gtopo is functioning correctly, when other things are going wrong.
