       This program converts a SUN raster file that has been cre-
       ated by SUN's "screendump" utility to a GRASS raster file.
       Output is placed in the _/_c_e_l_l directory under  the  user's
       current GRASS mapset.


       The  program prompts the user to enter the name of the SUN
       raster file to be converted and the name to be assigned to
       the GRASS raster file to contain the resultant image.


       It  is  recommended  that  this	program be used in an x,y
       database (as opposed to, for example, a	UTM  data  base),
       since the cell header is created with nonsense coordinates
       (i.e., coordinates designed only to specify the number  of
       rows  and  columns in the image).  Of course, the user can
       adjust the cell header after import using _r_._s_u_p_p_o_r_t


       The user must, of course, first create the SUN raster file
       to  be  converted,  either by running the SUN "screendump"
       utility (to capture a displayed image) or  by  some  other
       means  (e.g.,  from  a  scanning  system that produces SUN
       raster file format).

NNOOTTEE
       If you are using the screendump utility on a SUN  worksta-
       tion  to  create  the  sun  rasterfile,	do not use the _-_e
       option.	This option creates a sun rasterfile format  that
       _r_._i_n_._s_u_n_r_a_s_t does not understand.
