Program Description:

     The dpi_builder command builds a DPI document by traversing an SC
     containing document organization and contents.  The resulting text and
     illustrations go to standard output, which can be redirected to a file.

Options:
     input         Specifies the input definition file (input.def).  The
                   input definition file defines the parser's environment and
                   is assigned to the INPUT_FILE DPI variable.

     format        Specifies an optional user-defined format file.
                   This value is assigned to the FORMAT DPI variable.

     user          Specifies user-defined variables and commands file.
                   This value is assigned to the USER_FILE DPI variable.

     model         The model containing the DPI structure-chart.  This value is
                   assigned to the DPI_MODEL DPI variable.  This option
                   overrides other model names specified in the input
                   definition file.

     object        The DPI structure-chart name.  This value is assigned to the
                   DPI_SC_NAME DPI variable.  This option overrides
                   other object names specified in the input definition file.

     section       Specifies a starting section number.  The default is 0.  This
                   value is assigned to the SECTION_NUMBER DPI variable.

     level         Specifies a starting section level.  This value is assigned
                   to the SECTION_LEVEL DPI variable.  The default value
                   is 0.

     noprefix      The parser does not perform the FORMAT_HEADER action.  The
                   default is to perform the FORMAT_HEADER action.  This option
                   must be used with Context.

     nofooter      The parser does not perform the FORMAT_FOOTER action to end
                   the DPI document. This option is only valid for Context format.

     verbose       Print the actions as they are being performed (verbose mode).
                   This is a debugging aid.

     pv            Print the parsers internal information for DPI
                   variables.  This is a debugging aid.

     ppi           Print parsed items.  This is a debugging aid.

     help          Shows the full help screen (this information) and quits.  The
                   default location for help files is the "help" directory in
                   the Teamwork product tree.

     syntax        Shows the short help screen (syntax lines only) and quits.

     version       Shows the program header with the release version and quits.

     options       Lists the command line options before executing the program.

     arg_input    Indicates more command line options are in the file
                  'path_name'.

     noheader     Suppresses the display of the program header
                  before program execution.

     quiet        Suppresses status messages during program execution.

     ask          Prompts the user for required command line
                  options that are not specified.

     unix         Allows entry of options in Unix format (-example_option).

     vms          Allows entry of options in VMS format (/example_option).

     os2          Allows entry of options in OS/2 format (/example_option).
