NOTES

  1. Explanation Of Modes/Options
            
        ME            Lists the mode menu. 
        STA           Gives the current status of 'MD' options. 
        TR ON         Write trace to the terminal with 
                         DO-loop index, and procedure calls. 
        TR OFF        No trace written.    (Default) 
        OP ON         Show operation.      (Default) 
        OP OFF        Show operation off. 
        VB ON         Verbose on.  Normal listings to terminal and results file. (Default) 
        VB OFF        Verbose off.  Shortened listing to RESULTS file. 
                         Useful for complicated procedure runs. 
        SET MP        Sets maximum number of OMP processors used. 
                         (Asks for value. Setting value=0 will use all processors available.) 
        SET VARS      Sets total number of real variables available. 
                         (Asks for value.) 
        SET SEED      Sets seed for the F90 RANDOM_NUMBER generator used in SPIDER. 
                         (Asks for value.) 
        PIPE          Opens register output pipe. 
                         (Asks for pipe name.) 
        RESULTS OFF   Terminates current SPIDER RESULTS file. 
                         All further messages that are usually sent to the 
                         RESULTS file disappear.  This is useful when running  
                         very long, well-debugged SPIDER procedures. 
        RESULTS ON    Restarts echo to current SPIDER RESULTS file.  (Default) 
        TERM ON       Diverts  SPIDER RESULTS file to Terminal.   
        TERM OFF      Stops diversion of SPIDER RESULTS file to Terminal. (Default) 
        () ON         Surrounding () Needed for simple input in DO loop.  (Legacy Default). 
        () OFF        Surrounding () Not needed for simple input in DO loop.  (Current Default) 
        FBS ON        Use Fourier Based Spline Interpolation in 'AP' routines. 
        FBS OFF       Do not use Fourier Based Spline Interpolation in 'AP' routines. (Current Default) 
        () OFF        Surrounding () Not needed for simple input in DO loop.  (Current Default) 
        SET THREADS   Set number of FFTW3 threads. 
                        (Asks for value. Setting value=0 will use all threads in current  
                         'SET MP' option.) 
        PARALLEL ON   Running SPIDERs in parallel  
                         (Cosmetic effect on limiting outputs only) 
        PARALLEL OFF  Not running SPIDERs in parallel (Default) 
    

  2. The mode commands 'STA' and 'ME' leave the user in 'MD'. A carriage return will bring the system back into operation input status.
