A map gives you a graphic representation of all or part of your country.

Your  own  sectors as well as sea, mountains, wasteland and unowned wilderness
and plains show up as a designation mnemonic (see "Sector-types").  Other sec-
tors appear as question marks ("?").

You can also get an lmap by typing 'M' at the march prompt.

Examples:
   [##:##] Command : map -9:18,-8:5
generates  a  28  x  14  map based on data supplied by the sectors in the area
specified.

   [##:##] Command : map # >mapfil
where your "realm" (or '#', see "info realm" or "info  update")  is  -5:5,-6:6
will  type  out  a 11 by 13 sector map and also put the map in the file called
"mapfil".

Also, if you give a ship # instead of coordinates or a realm,  map  will  show
you a small realm around the given ship (assuming you own it).

If  you use nmap, you can get a map that shows new sector designations instead
of old sector designations of your own country.

If you use lmap, you can get a map around a land unit.  If you use  pmap,  you
can  get  a  map  around a plane.  If you use smap, you can get a map around a
ship.  If you use nmap, you can get a map around a nuke.

MAP FLAGS

If you specify an 's' flag, map will put your ships on the map.  If you  spec-
ify  an  'l' flag, map will put your land units on the map.  If you specify an
'p' flag, map will put your planes on the map.  If you specify  an  'n'  flag,
map will put your nukes on the map.  A '*' will put all on the map.  When mul-
tiple unit types are selected they are displayed  in  the  following  priority
order:  nukes,  land  units,  ships,  planes.   To  highlight sectors you own,
specifiy the 'h' flag.
