1-6     A6             Requests creation and output
                       of the altimetry geolocation
                       file on unit 18. 

8       I1             =0 No output.
                       =1 Output the geolocation file
                          at the first inner iteration   
                          of the first global iteration.
                       =2 Output the geolocation file
                          at the last inner iteration   
                          of the first global iteration.

                       =1 Output the PDOUT file
                          at the first inner iteration
                          of the first global iteration.
                       =2 Output the PDOUT file
                          at the last inner iteration
                          of the first global iteration.

NOTE [1]:  The ALTOUT option applies only to altimetry or crossover data.

NOTE [2]:  If dynamic crossover data type is being processed (mtype 101)
           and an ALTOUT 2 card is present, a geolocation file will be 
           output at the last inner interation.

NOTE [3]:  If Laser Altimeter modeling using external attitude is invoked
           and an ALTOUT 2 card is present, a geolocation file will be output
           at the last inner iteration.

IF CARD OMITTED:  No Geolocation file will be output
