Chris, giqtrans is only designed for file processing, so it does not handle coordinate input via the command line. Having said that you could write a wrapper script to create a temporary input file and parse the output file, or you could parse the input/output of CGI mode (see page 16 of the manual) however that is really intended for use with a web-server.

What you probably want to do is call the GIQ.dll from a custom program of your own.

Hope that helps,

Paul
