NOTES





The

of
this
program,
sdtsdump,
is
included
along
with
other
utility
program
accompanying
the
U.S.
Geological
Survey's
distribution
of
their
public
domain
FIPS
123
Function
Library.
Both
sdtsdump
and
m.sdts.read
make
use
of
this
library.
To
create
m.sdts.read,
sdtsdump
was
only
modified
enough
to
make
it
conform
to
GRASS
program
conventions.
