       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.

NNOOTTEESS
       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 distri-
       bution  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 con-
       ventions.
