       _m_._d_t_e_d_._e_x_a_m_i_n_e scans digital terrain elevation data  (DTED
       -  Levels  1  and 2) that was produced and supplied by the
       Defense Mapping Agency (DMA)  on  1/2-inch  magnetic  tape
       from  the  tape device specified by _t_a_p_e_d_e_v, and prints to
       the screen a terse description of each file.


       If the user specifies no _t_a_p_e_d_e_v on the command	line  the
       program	assumes that input is coming from /dev/rmt0.  The
       information provided by _m_._d_t_e_d_._e_x_a_m_i_n_e  includes  the  UTM
       borders, cell resolution, and number of elevation profiles
       in each file.

BBUUGGSS
       The header file for DTED Level 1 and 2 data was changed in
       1987.   _m_._d_t_e_d_._e_x_a_m_i_n_e  and _m_._d_t_e_d_._e_x_t_r_a_c_t operate only on
       DTED data containing pre-1987 headers.  DTED data contain-
       ing the pre-1987 headers may be purchased from the Defense
       Mapping Agency (DMA) upon request.
