       The GRASS program _v_._o_u_t_._s_c_s_g_e_f allows the user to convert GRASS	vector
       data to SCS-GEF format, for export to other systems.


       _v_._o_u_t_._s_c_s_g_e_f  creates  the  SCS-GEF  header,  lines,  text, and feature
       files. All files are created and placed in a _$_L_O_C_A_T_I_O_N_/_g_e_f directory as
       a single UNIX file under the output name.


       The following is the SCS-GEF file structure:

		 header record 1
		    |	  |
		 header record n
		 -head
		 line record 1
		    |	  |
		 line record n
		 -line
		 text record 1
		    |	  |
		 text record n
		 -text
		 feature record 1
		    |	  |
		 feature record n
		 -feat

       The  user  will	be  required to use standard UNIX commands to separate
       this file into individual files as required by SCS-GEF  specifications.




       The  user  can run the program non-interactively by specifying all pro-
       gram arguments on the command line, in the form:


       vv..oouutt..ssccssggeeff iinnppuutt==_n_a_m_e oouuttppuutt==_n_a_m_e






   PPaarraammeetteerrss::
       iinnppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	      Name of the binary GRASS vector data file  to  be  converted  to
	      SCS-GEF format.

       oouuttppuutt==_n_a_m_e
	      Name to be assigned to the SCS-GEF output file created.



       If  the user does not give the names of an input and output file on the
       command line, the program will prompt the user to enter these names.

NNOOTTEESS
       The _v_._o_u_t_._s_c_s_g_e_f program requires that the _i_n_p_u_t vector map layer  have
       full  topological  information associated with it.  This means that the
       GRASS program _v_._s_u_p_p_o_r_t should have  been  the  last  program  to  have
       effected any changes upon the vector map layer before it is run through
       _v_._o_u_t_._s_c_s_g_e_f.  If this is not the  case,  _v_._o_u_t_._s_c_s_g_e_f  will  terminate
       with a message that _v_._s_u_p_p_o_r_t needs to be run.
