SQR version 3 and later ALWAYS produces an .spf file (if any "print" type
comannds are done). Under certain conditions, it will produce other
outputs from the .spf and possibly remove the .spf after the conversion(s)
are done.  If you have .spf files hanging around, and no jobs have any
-keep, -nolis, or -ziv flags, and there aren't many .spf files, could they
be from processes that were killed or interupted by outages, network
problems, or network maintenance "kicking" people/processes off?  This
could leave the .spf since it never got to the "clean-up" phase.
