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

Your own sectors show up as a designation mnemonic  (see  sector-types)  while
sectors  held  by  other  countries  appear as question marks (?).  Mountains,
wilderness ares, and seas appear as '^', '-' and '.' respectively.

                                Command : MAP

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

   [##:##] 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 lmap, you can get a map around a land unit, instead. Pmap does  the
same for a plane. Smap does the same for a ship.

MAP FLAGS

If you give an 's' flag, all your ships will be shown on the map.  An 'l' flag
does the same for land units, and a 'p' for planes.
