Notes
  1. The RFM has default filenames for all output files, this section just provides the ability to override these, including redirecting outputs from the default local directory

  2. Where multiple files are generated (eg more than one spectral range or tangent height) the filename must contain a wildcard '*' character and then acts as a template with '*' expanded to accommodate the spectral range, tangent height etc data (see Output Files). If in doubt, include the '*' character anyway.

  3. If DIRNAM is supplied, it is inserted at the front of any filenames (removing any spaces). So on Linux systems it should end with a '/' character

  4. If any run_ID is specified, this is also appended to the output filename.

  5. If the filename contains the strings '.asc' or '.bin', these are automatically switched according to the status of the BIN Flag.

Example
*OUT OUTDIR = ./output/ ABSFIL = abs_*.asc_test TRAFIL = tra_*.asc_test
