[Radiance-general] rsensor and rtcontrib

[Greg Ward]

Hi Anne,

I think you need to add a "-h" option to the rsensor command -- it should probably be the default, really.  Having a header in the input only messes up rtcontrib.

No errors or messages are generated, so I don't have any 'feeling' of what might be going wrong...Am I missing something in my command line below?
