None of these work

FATAL: Could not open configuration file `st28.conf' for reading.

nbingham@Lira:~/act/test/prs/clk_mult_dadda___64_64_6______bits$ prs2net -p "testbench<>" -Tst28 test.act
prs2net: invalid option -- 'T'
Unknown option.
Usage: prs2net [-dltBR] [-C <conf>] [-p <proc>] [-o <file>] <act>
 -C <conf> Configuration file name
 -c <cells> Cell file name
 -t        Only emit top-level cell (no sub-cells)
 -p <proc> Emit process <proc>
 -o <file> Save result to <file> rather than stdout
 -d	       Emit parasitic source/drain diffusion area/perimeters with fets
 -B	       Turn of black-box mode. Assume empty act process is an externally specified file
 -l	       LVS netlist; ignore all load capacitances
 -S        Enable shared long-channel devices in staticizers

This is the one that works.

prs2net -Tst28 -p "testbench<>" test.act

Also modified usage information for some of the core act tools.
