fluxengine --help seems less helpful than it used to be #715

Searching for useful incantations I came across

http://ndwiki.org/wiki/FluxEngine

which gives examples of using the --help option.

The cited responses seem to me to be much more useful than what I see here using the apricot or master branches.

FWIW here is what I see:

ged@beta:~/src/fluxengine-master $ ./fluxengine read --help FluxEngine options: Note: options are processed left to right and order matters! -s, --source <default: "">: flux file to read from -o, --output <default: "">: destination image to write --copy-flux-to <default: "">: while reading, copy the read flux to this file --cylinders, -c <default: "">: tracks to read from --heads, -h <default: "">: heads to read from --help: Shows the help. --config, -C: Shows the currently set configuration and halts. --doc: Shows the available configuration options and halts. ged@beta:~/src/fluxengine-master $ ./fluxengine read ibm --help FluxEngine options: Note: options are processed left to right and order matters! -s, --source <default: "">: flux file to read from -o, --output <default: "">: destination image to write --copy-flux-to <default: "">: while reading, copy the read flux to this file --cylinders, -c <default: "">: tracks to read from --heads, -h <default: "">: heads to read from --help: Shows the help. --config, -C: Shows the currently set configuration and halts. --doc: Shows the available configuration options and halts.

In

http://cowlark.com/fluxengine/doc/using.html

I see

"settings for writing PC disks, and the --1140 refers to a specific definition inside it."

which should read "1440" not "1140".
