[TriLUG] Limit to command line arguments?

[Randy Barlow]

It's a program that takes .STL CAD files as input as discritizes the 
solids in 3D space.  It's the first step in some electromagnetic 
simulations I am planning on running on some cell phone models, and it 
is a custom program.  I was thinking of using a text file as the input 
to my program instead of command line arguments if 350 parameters is too 
many.  Thanks!
