SYNOPSIS
mkfdf [ -U user ] [ -P passwd ] [ -S server ] -d database

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.).
