.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBm.dted.examine\fR [\fItapedev\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I m.dted.examine
scans digital terrain elevation data (DTED - Levels 1 and 2)
that was produced and supplied by the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA)
on 1/2-inch magnetic tape from the tape device specified by
.I tapedev\fR,
and prints to the screen a terse description of each file.

If the user specifies no \fItapedev\fR on the command line the program
assumes that input is coming from /dev/rmt0.  The information provided
by \fIm.dted.examine\fR includes the UTM borders, 
cell resolution, and number of elevation profiles in each file.
.SH BUGS
The header file for DTED Level 1 and 2 data was changed in 1987.
\fIm.dted.examine\fR and \fIm.dted.extract\fR operate only on DTED
data containing pre-1987 headers.  DTED data containing the pre-1987
headers may be purchased from the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) upon request.
