No problem. You do not even need to write the application. With the acd 
file written you just need:

acdc appname

to try running the application. It will read input and open output files 
and then stop.

acdc appname -help

will give you the help

If you have the application written then appname -help will work too.

If you need more we can help .... all we need to do it write something
like "acdtable" and add a different control call to dump out a command
line from the ACD processing. For example, we could show the shortest
abbreviations of qualifier names.

Peter
