Program rf in package rf.tgz have the following options:
    rf [h] [-g FILE|-] [-s FILE|-] [FILE1] [FILE2] ...
FILE can be: - (minus) - stdin, filename or a string (if file of given name does not exists). Option -g defines gene trees, option -s species trees. Trees are defined in standard nested parenthesis notation. If no option is used rf assumes that the first tree is a gene tree, then a species tree, a gene tree, etc.

Output. Nodes are decorated with atributes:
   cost=NUM (total cost of rooting placed on the edge),
   top=NUM (direction of edge: 0=empty ===, -1=single <===, 1=single ===>, 2=double <===>). See [1] for more details.

Example 1.
rf.py -g "((a,b),(c,d),e,f)" -s "(a,(b,(c,(d,(e,f)))))"
(((a top=0 cost=3,b top=-1 cost=5) top=1 cost=5,(c top=-1 cost=7,d top=-1 cost=7) top=-1 cost=7,e top=-1 cost=7) top=1 cost=7,f top=-1 cost=7)


Example 2.
rf.py -g "(a,b,c,d,e,f)" -s "(a,b,c,d,e,f)"
((a top=-1 cost=1,b top=-1 cost=1,c top=-1 cost=1,d top=-1 cost=1,e top=-1 cost=1) top=1 cost=1,f top=-1 cost=1)
