I was under the impression I could use the intensities with the `-vol`
option, as described in page 554:
"The format for the -vol option is the same as for the -upb option except
that the seventh column holds a peak
intensity (volume) value, rather than a distance upper bound."
Did this feature change? Or am I understanding it wrong?
Still, if I understand correctly, the best option is to use the distances,
right?
I'll talk to them to see if I could get some better data, then.
Thanks!
