Loading from Binary Sequential, Relative, or Line Sequential

The "-load" option creates an indexed file from a binary sequential file, a relative file, or a line sequential file. The command is:

vutil -load [ -b|d|t ] [ -lnvr ] [ -q ] source destination

-b
Binary sequential file.
-d
Relative file.
-t
Line sequential file.
-l
Prevent locking of destination file.
-n
New file.
-v
Variable-length records.
-r
Retry duplicate key write errors.
-q
Exit if user interaction is required.

Without "-l", vutil adds records to the file using "bulk addition" mode, which generally runs faster.
