       The  program  enables the user to read SDTS and other data
       files in ISO 8211 (FIPS 123) format.  Output read from the
       file  can  be  displayed  to the screen and/or dumped to a
       user-specified file.


       Data read from the ISO 8211 file is  displayed  or  dumped
       record  by  record.   The  contents  of each field of each
       record are displayed along with field name, subfield name,
       format,	and  length.   Binary field data are displayed in
       hex format.

       The  original  version  of  this  program,  _s_d_t_s_d_u_m_p,   is
       included along with other utility program accompanying the
       U.S. Geological	Survey's  distribution	of  their  public
       domain  FIPS  123  Function  Library.  Both  _s_d_t_s_d_u_m_p  and
       _m_._s_d_t_s_._r_e_a_d  make  use  of  this   library.    To   create
       _m_._s_d_t_s_._r_e_a_d,  _s_d_t_s_d_u_m_p was only modified enough to make it
       conform to GRASS program conventions.
