<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>rotconverter</b>
reads one or more plate motion models (rotations) stored in
the given files. If more than one plate motion model is
given we will add or subtract them in the order they were
listed. The minus sign means we should first transpose the
rotation and then add it to the previous rotation. The input
files must all be of the same type (stage poles or finite
rotations) which may differ from the desired output format;
see <b>−F</b>. If a file cannot be opened we will
attempt to decode the file name as a single rotation whose
parameters are separated by slashes.</p>

a plate motion model. Separate several files with desired
operator (+ or -). The very first file may also have a
leading minus to imply a transpose. If any of the specified
rotation models cannot be opened as a file, we will try to
decode the file name as
<i>lon/lat/tstart</i>[<i>/tstop</i>]/<i>angle</i> for a
single rotation given on the command line. The <i>tstop</i>
argument is required for stage poles only. For a single
finite rotation without any time information, give
<i>lon/lat/angle</i> only.</p></td>
