Can I change POINTLESS behaviour?

Yes - by setting the parameter autoPROC_PointlessExtra to the location (absolute path) of a file containing standard POINTLESS keywords. E.g. to change the value for the TOLERANCE keyword, we would

1. create a file /some/where/pointless.extra containing e.g.

TOLERANCE 5.0

2. running autoPROC with the additional setting

   % process autoPROC_PointlessExtra=/some/where/pointless.extra ...

Of course, any other keyword understood by POINTLESS would work as well.
