+'''!PhoneFeatureFileWriter'''[[BR]]
+
+It produces a file containing all the target cost features for the phone sized units. The module needs a file defining which features are to be used and what weights are given to them. They must be the same features as the ones that the !PhoneFeatureComputer used. If you do not have a feature definition, the module tries to create one.
