       mm..ddtteedd..eexxaammiinnee  - Provides a terse description of level 1 and 2 digital
       terrain elevation data (DTED) files produced  and  distributed  by  the
       Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) on 1/2-inch magnetic tapes.

       _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	containing the pre-1987 headers may be
       purchased from the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) upon request.
