	iinnppuutt  site_list file to read


	oouuttppuutt	vector (digit) file to create


	rraaddiiuuss	radius of circle


       Values for radius:


       0=take category for radius,

       -1=the 4th value of site list (category label),

       positive value= use given value for radius. Then the buffer is the same
