   -q     Sort alignments by the query start coordinate

   -r     Sort alignments by the reference start coordinate

   -w int Set the screen width - default is 60

   -x int Set  the  matrix  type - default is 2 (BLOSUM 62), other options
          include 1 (BLOSUM 45) and 3 (BLOSUM 80)
          note: only has effect on amino acid alignments

   Input is the .delta output of  either  the  "nucmer"  or  the  "promer"
   program passed on the command line.

   Output  is  to  stdout,  and consists of all the alignments between the
   query and reference sequences identified on the command line.
