Similar to the GridReader Control File, the ProjectTinToGrid control file consists of a set of argument blocks, each starting with the "infile:" argument. Everything in this file is an extension of the command line, and therefore any command line arguments can be used. If any arguments from the command line are duplicated in the control file, the control file argument will take precedence. Below is an example of using this file as a list of input files. In this example, all output file and projection specifications would be specified at the command line, and each input file from the control file will be projected.

Below is an example of a control file that uses different options for projecting two different sets of images. The first block writes the input data to and HRAP projection in DSS. The second block writes data to a geographic projection in ESRI ASCII format. Each of these examples use file masking to have the dates in the filename. As an example, the first image in the first block would expand to C:\filenamebase1985OCT06_0100, where October 6th 1985 01:00 is the end time of the first image.
