Usage:  SUMA 
   -spec  
                     [-sv ] [-ah AfniHost]

   -spec : File containing surface specification. 
                      This file is typically generated by 
                      @SUMA_Make_Spec_FS (for FreeSurfer surfaces) or 
                      @SUMA_Make_Spec_SF (for SureFit surfaces). 
                      The Spec file should be located in the directory 
                      containing the surfaces.
   [-sv ]: Anatomical volume used in creating the surface and registerd 
                    to the current experiment's anatomical volume (using 
                    @SUMA_AlignToExperiment). This parameter is optional, but 
                    linking to AFNI is not possible without it.
                    If you find the need for it (and others have), you can specify
                    the SurfVol in the specfile. You can do that by adding the field:
                    SurfaceVolume to each surface in the spec file. In this manner,
                    you can have different surfaces using different surface volumes.
   [-ah ]: Name (or IP address) of the computer running AFNI. This 
                     parameter is optional, the default is localhost. 
                     When both AFNI and SUMA are on the same computer, communication
                     is through shared memory. You can turn that off by explicitly 
                     setting AfniHost to 127.0.0.1
   [-niml]: Start listening for NIML-formatted elements.
   [-dev]: Allow access to options that are not well polished for consuption.
  Common Debugging Options:
   [-trace]: Turns on In/Out debug and Memory tracing.
             For speeding up the tracing log, I recommend 
             you redirect stdout to a file when using this option.
             For example, if you were running suma you would use:
             suma -spec lh.spec -sv ... > TraceFile
             This option replaces the old -iodbg and -memdbg.
   [-TRACE]: Turns on extreme tracing.
   [-nomall]: Turn off memory tracing.
   [-yesmall]: Turn on memory tracing (default).
  NOTE: For programs that output results to stdout
    (that is to your shell/screen), the debugging info
    might get mixed up with your results.
 
   [-visuals] Shows the available glxvisuals and exits.
   [-version] Shows the current version number.
   [-latest_news] Shows the latest news for the current 
                  version of the entire SUMA package.
   [-all_latest_news] Shows the history of latest news.
   [-progs] Lists all the programs in the SUMA package.
   [-sources] Lists code sources used in parts of SUMA.

   ++ SUMA version 2.5000, June 10 2004
Modifications:
  + SUMA's surface controller 'ctrl+s' has been
    vastly improved. 
    Of note are the following features:
     - interactive color mapping
     - thresholding controls 
     - brightness modulation
     - choice of colormaps
     - coordinate bias (tres tres cool)
     - info on current cross hair location
    Use Bhelp button in the controller for detailed help.
  + 3dVol2Surf can output NIML formatted datasets.
    Options -first_node and -last_node can be used
    to restrict the mapping to a subset of the nodes.
    That is useful if your output file size exceeds 2GB.
Bug Fix:
  + Fixed bug on Mac OS-X that cause all viewers to close
    after pressing 'Yes' on the 'Close this viewer' prompt.

Compile Date:
