Importing an ancillary file

The command line syntax to import an ancillary file of the type <FILE_TYPE> into MOOT is:

  bin/AncillaryManager.py <FILE_TYPE> --import <FILE_NAME> -T FILE_TAG [-a -b -A ALIAS*]
This will import the ancillary into MOOT under the name <ID>_<FILE_TYPE>_<FILE_TAG>.xml, where <ID> is serial number supplied by MOOT to insure unique file names. If the -a option is supplied an alias pointing to the imported file will be added. By default the alias will by the same as the file tag, but this can be overridden by using the -A <ALIAS> option. If the -b option is supplied, then the existing alias will be moved to <ALIAS>_old. If more that one value is given for the -A option, each alias will point to the imported file.
