A map gives you a graphic representation of all or part of your country.

Your  own  sectors as well as sea, mountains, wasteland and unowned wilderness
and plains show up as a designation mnemonic (see "Sector-types").  Other sec-
tors appear as question marks ("?").

Examples:
   [##:##] Command : map -9:18,-8:5
generates  a  28  x  14  map based on data supplied by the sectors in the area
specified.

   [##:##] Command : map # >mapfil
where your "realm" (or '#', see "info realm" or "info  update")  is  -5:5,-6:6
will  type  out  a 11 by 13 sector map and also put the map in the file called
"mapfil".

Also, if you give a ship # instead of coordinates or a realm,  map  will  show
you a small realm around the given ship (assuming you own it).

If  you use nmap, you can get a map that shows new sector designations instead
of old sector designations of your own country.

If you use lmap, you can get a map around a land unit, instead. Pmap does  the
same for a plane. Smap does the same for a ship.

MAP FLAGS

If you give an 's' flag, all your ships will be shown on the map.  An 'l' flag
does the same for land units, and a 'p' for planes.  '*'  shows  all  in  this
order:  land units, ships, planes.  To highlight sectors you own, specifiy the
'h' flag.
