Hi Jakson,

Your extensions are certainly valuable! Particularly I like automatic 
detection of the input format. Fine-tuning via command line options is 
good, but eventually you may want to allow for defining the details when 
opening the file (in interactive mode). This would allow to define 
details for every file separately.  For instance there could be a sub-menu
DATA MANAGEMENT/FILE FORMAT OPTIONS
