NAME

     mkfdf - Make fdf file for a Sybase table.

SYNOPSIS

     mkfdf [ -U  user ] [ -P passwd ] [ -S server ]  -d  database
     -t table [ -k keyfields ] [ -n formname ] mkfdf -h

DESCRIPTION

     This program produces Form Definition Files  (fdf)  for  the
     wdb  system.  Given  a  Sybase table name mkfdf extracts the
     necessary information from the database to  produce  a  tem-
     plate  fdf  for  the  table.  The  fdf will still have to be
     edited by hand to make nice labels, joins with other tables,
     conversions  of  data from database format to display format
     (in case of coordinates etc.).
