[shape] == cap (spherical caps), 
           rec (rectangular tube), 
           par (parallelepiped), 
           cpx (complex, two spherical caps)


[variable] == th (theta - cap angular size), 
              width, 
              length, 
              d[xxyy] (depth, xx is depth to the top layer, yy is depth to the bottom layer), 
              dir (field direction or alpha), 
              depthmin (depth do the top layer)

[realistic test] == GN (Gaussian noise)
                    NU (non-unidirectionality)
                    UB (uneven bottom)

[scenario] == att (attached spherical caps)
              sup (superposed spherical caps)

[lunar anomaly] == Mendel_Rydberg basin
                   Reiner Gamma

>> Files Format:

All files are in ASCII.
 
Input files display the magnetic field grid organised as follows:
Longitude (degrees), Latitude (degrees), Altitude (Km), B-radial (nT), B-theta (nT), B-phi (nT)

Output ideal bodies files display the inversion solutions (non-negative dipoles position and magnitude) organised as follows: 
Longitude (degrees), Latitude (degrees), Altitude (Km), Radius (Km), Dipole Moment (Am^2)

Output lunar magnetic anomalies files display the inversion solutions (non-negative dipoles position and magnitude) organised as follows: 
Longitude (degrees), Latitude (degrees), Dipole Moment (Am^2)
