This eliminates the huge redundancy in archiving the both original and X-ray removed data. The script assumes that files are named with the conven- tions that eTomo uses. Specifically, when the input file is given as setname.st, the original stack is assumed to be named setname_orig.st. The program then computes the difference between the original and X-ray removed stack and uses gzip compression of the difference file, which is named setname_xray.st.gz. The resulting file should be ~2 MB for a 1 GB data stack. Options -r Restore setname_orig.st from setname_xray.st.gz and setname.st. The X-ray removed stack (setname.st) must be present to perform this operation. -d Delete setname_orig.st after successfully producing set- name_xray.st.gz. By default, the file is left for the user to delete. -P Output process ID. FILES If the final output file already exists a backup image of the original is created with the ~ extension.
