I have looked at various programs and noted what input and
output files they use. I don't recall any of them doing
I/O at that particular stage of processing.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that the spanning tree
usually depends on the order in which the survey shots are
presented to the program. I have not seen a program where
the unadjusted coordinates do not depend on the input order,
though a reordering routine is possible.
