       This menu-driven Tcl/Tk program enables the user  to  pre-
       pare  and  install supplementary metadata and data quality
       reports for a vector map preceding the creation of an SDTS
       transfer  dataset.   With  v_._s_d_t_s_._m_e_t_a,	metadata and data
       quality files can be edited, saved, retrieved,  and  modi-
       fied, and then installed in the GRASS database in associa-
       tion with a particular vector  map  layer.   Subsequently,
       _v_._o_u_t_._s_d_t_s  will  incorporate this metadata along with the
       associated vector map in an SDTS transfer dataset.


       In addition to the five data quality  modules,  supplemen-
       tary  metadata  items  currently  able  to  be  edited and
       installed include  (1)  creation  date  for  the  original
       source  map;  (2)  a general TITLE for the transfer; (3) a
       general comment about the transfer; (4) name of geographic
       datum;  (4)  and  (5), name and definition for the kind of
       entity contained in the GRASS vector  layer  being  trans-
       ferred; (6) and (7) custom definitions for the _d_i_g___a_t_t and
       _d_i_g___c_a_t_s values being transferred.
