Just a general FYI.  A lot of people (partly due to the wording in the
manual) believe that the creation of the .spf file is an "additional"
process that can be avoided.  I used ti think the same thing.  It isn't,
though. The .lis file is created from the .spf and the -keep flag just
prevents the .spf's deletion when done.
