 XDS.INP is a user-provided file that is read by XDS.  Each line consists of one or more <keyword>=<parameter(s)> pairs.
-== What can go wrong with this file? ==
-The most important pitfalls are:
-a) Its lines are at most 80 characters long (FIXME: what happens if they are longer: truncation or warning?). This happens most often with the NAME_TEMPLATE_OF_DATA_FRAMES keyword line, because the directory path with the frames may be long.
-b) Error due to omitting the "=" directly after the keyword (i.e. having the intervening blank).
-c) There may be decoding errors in the parameter which may lead to obscure error messages. E.g., try to provide only one cell parameter instead of six!
