    771772=head1 DESCRIPTION
     
    810811configuration file.
    811812
     813If B<-t> is given the parameter is treated as a parameter to B<Timeout> in
     814F<splitter.conf>.
     815
    812816If any sub-experiment fails to instantiate, the other sub-exeriments are
    813 swapped out.
     817swapped out.  B<-F> avoids this swap out, which can also be specified as
     818B<SoftFail: true> in F<splitter.conf>
    814819
    815820=head2 Configuration File
     
    876881The pathname to the local oTcl shell.  Only developers should set
    877882this.
     883
     884=item Timeout
     885
     886Value in seconds after which a swap-in operatioin will be considered a success.
     887Often long swap-ins will hang when there are partial failures.  This works
     888around this issue.
     889
     890=item FailSoft
     891
     892If not set, failure of any sub experiment swaps the rest out.  Setting this to any value avoids this swap out.  (Also B<-F>.)
