[esp-r] Re: topology tool and data

[julien nembrini]

Dear Jon,

Thank you very much for the prompt answer. One more question: Is the 
topology tool integrated in the project manager reachable from the 
command line passing some appropriate flags to  'prj' ?

Ideally, I would like to take advantage of the automatic topology 
creation from a script.

Kind Regards,
Julien
