John Campbell wrote to ask why the files needed to be so complicated (the 
KISS principal -- Keep It Simple, Stupid), a philosophy with which I don't 
necessarily disagree.  On this basis, I propose that the only command a 
user ought to have to submit to his computer (buttons to push on his GUI) 
would be to choose his favorite program and to give a template path to the 
data.  From there on, the data should include everything necessary about 
the experiment for rather complete data reduction.  This will be possible 
with a comprehensive header and this is why it might be better to make the 
process simple but maybe the software not so simple.
