SYNOPSIS
     IvToRib [-h] [-q] [-v verbose_setting] <infile> <outfile>

DESCRIPTION

     data file.  Copyright (c) Acuris, Inc. 1995.


   Command Line Options
     Typically, IvToRib expects an Open Inventor file to be specified on the
     command line after all command option switches. If no Open Inventor file
     is specified on the command line, IvToRib will read from standard input
     (stdin).  By default, IvToRib writes the converted data to standard
     output (stdout) and messages to standard error (stderr).

     -h        Prints a program usage message to standard error (stderr).

     -q        Quiet mode - no error messages output.

     -v        Specifies verbose output for debugging purposes.


     <infile>  Specifies the name of the Open Inventor file to read and
               convert. If no file is specified, the program will be read from
               standard input (stdin).

     <outfile> Specifies the name of the Renderman file to use for output.  If
               no file is specified, the program will output to standard out
               (stdout).
