86 + If there is a sun in the description,

88 + will include its contribution in the four nearest sky patches,

90   The
91   .I \-d
92   option may be used to produce a sun-only matrix, with no sky contributions,
# Line 86 | Line 94 | and the ground patch also set to zero.
94   Alternatively, the
95   .I \-s
96   option may be used to exclude any direct solar component from the output,
97 < with the rest of the sky and ground patch unaffected.

99   The
100 + .I \-u
101 + option ignores input times when the sun is below the horizon.
102 + This is a convenient way to average daylight hours only with the
103 + .I \-A
104 + option or to ensure that matrix entries correspond to solar positions
105 + produced with the
106 + .I \-D
107 + option, described below.
108 + .PP
109 + The
110   .I \-n
111 < option may be used if no matrix output is desired.
111 > option may be used if no matrix output is desired at all.
112   This may be used to merely check the input, or in combination with the
113   .I \-D
114   option, below.
# Line 103 | Line 117 | The
117   .I \-D
118   option may be used to specify an output file to contain a list of
119   solar positions and intensities corresponding to time steps in the
120 < weather tape where the sun has any portion above the horizion.
120 > weather tape where the sun has any portion above the horizon.
121   Sun radiance values may be zero if the direct amount is zero on the input.
122   Sun modifiers and names will be indexed by the minute, numbered from
123   midnight, January 1st.

158   .PP
159   The
160 + .I \-i
161 + option specifies the actual capture interval in minutes of the original
162 + weather data.
163 + Please see the man page for
164 + .I gendaylit
