    • Output filter option details
    • Score entries display number
    • No output message
    • JD candidate
    • Cluster option
    • Use alphabetical order for JDs have same scores

• Sample commands:

  > jdi -imh -p
  => index input MeSH from standard input with prompt
  
  > jdi -imh -i:9801.2004.MH.in -o:9801.2004.MH.out
  => index MeSH from file, 9801.2004.MH.in, and send results to a file, 9801.2004.MH.out
  

• Sample Outputs:
  • a file, such as 9801.2004.MH.out
