SYNTAX
   [##:##] Command : sdump <SHIPS> [<fields>]

The  sdump  command  displays  all  information  on some or all of your ships.
sdump is a combination of ship, cargo, and sstat.  Each ship's information  is
printed on one very long line.  Fields are separated by a single space.

This  command is designed to be used for input to an empire tool such as "ve".

In the syntax of the sdump command <SHIPS> are the ships  on  which  you  wish
information,  [<fields>]  are  the  fields you wish to dump.  If no fields are
specified, all fields are printed.  (see "info Syntax").

An sdump command lists all selected ships headed by:

   Sun Feb  9 22:16:37 1997

   <fields>

The first line is the date.  The second line is the "DUMP  SHIPS  <timestamp>"
where  the  <timestamp> field is the current timestamp.  The third line is the
columns which are output.

These columns represent the following fields which are also the selection cri-
teria for the command.

The  following  may  be used as fields.  They must be entered EXACTLY as shown
