I was waiting for someone to mention this - yes. I wonder if another
character, '-' or '*' might be better idea just to disambiguate and
avoid mistakes.

I'll add this feature before I resend.

I also wonder if I might add a 'special' line for the first line, must
contain something like '!' at the start to denote its presence which
would essentially contain the command line args so that the only
information needed to generate a pnor is the input file (with the data
obviously).

Thanks,

Cyril
