+DePew is a simple application which analyses PEW files, exports / imports objects and deletes objects / templates.
+Formats supported range from Pose57 (Elite) thru to Pose60 (ArmA 2).
 Syntax:
 <code>
-DePew Anyfile[.pew]
+DePew [-option(s) [import.txt]] Anyfile[.pew]	[export.txt]
 </code>
-Output is produced on screen.
-Requires DePbo.dll - Check [[http://dev-heaven.net/projects/mikero-pbodll|Mikero tools homepage]] in Dev-Heaven.
+Options:
+<code>
+Options:
+	none:	simply analyse the pew to verify it's integrity.
+	-LO[X][Cc]:	list all objects in world tools format
+	-LT[Cc]:	list all templates
+	-X:		enhanced. (Includes relative height info)
+	-Cc:		Separation char (default is ,)
+	-DO[Y]:		delete all objects
+	-DT[Y]:		delete all templates (and objects)
+	-I[Y]:		import objects (and build templates where necessary)
+	-R[Y]:		Reduce object memory (by deleting unused)
+	-Y:             don't prompt for ask.
+	-E[X][Cc]:	Export Objects
+	-T:		will create a copy of the pewfile, using the dll's internals, and then checks it for errors.
+			this is a confidence test of the dll, not, the pew
+	-P:		pause on completion
+	-K:		no pause on error (useful for bat commands which will test the return val anyway)
+	-A:		Add offsets x,y (and optionally z). See below
+	-U:		show usage stats of objects and templates
+</code>
+Export syntax:
+DePew -E[X][Cc] SomePew export.txt
+Import Syntax:
+DePew -I[Y] import.txt SomePew
+Import works with all known forms of world tool export syntax. Specifically, one object per line.
+FileName<separator>X<separator>Y<separator>Z[<Separator>Degrees]<optional separator>
+<separator> can be ; , | or space. Spaces if used in a file name must (obviously) be enclosed in quotes
+Add Offsets
+Operates at two different levels
+-A x,y[,z] import.txt SomePew : Will add offsets ONLY to imported.txt\\
+-A x,y[,z] SomePew : Will add offsets to ALL current pew objects.
+Requires DePbo.dll - Check [[http://dev.withsix.com/projects/mikero-pbodll/files|Mikero tools homepage]] in Dev-Heaven.
