Also see the SDTS_FAQ.txt file in this directory.
The file stds.zip contains the programs that use sdts data.
It is a zip file of all the *.EXE files in this directory
Most of them came from ftp://sdts.er.usgs.gov. You can
get all the source code at this site.
I've compiled all of them using the April 15, 1997 sdts fips123 library.
This release fixed a few of the known bugs.
Most of the programs have little to no error checking. You must
enter the complete file name for most of them. For the
dumping programs and arc/info programs, you will need to
figure out the name of the required file. The sum173.exe
program will help.
Several of the programs have comments in the source code that
the tranformation values have been hard coded for dlg3.
I used the wilmington dlg3 data (another version is known as the HY01 dataset)
in stds format for testing some of these programs. You can get it at the
above ftp site.
Also, if you use winzip to unzip the files at mcmcweb.er.usgs.gov/sdts,
be sure that the box for smart cr/lf conversion is UNCHECKED. Otherwise
the data will be corrupted.
When using FTP, be sure to use binary (image) transfer mode. Otherwise
the files will be corrupted.
Before contacting me with a problem,
1. be sure that my name is in the program,
2. check the file using some of the other programs.
3. if it works with the other program but not mine, then contact me.
(otherwise it is problem with the library and I no longer will
have anything to do with the sdts library.)
Good luck, you'll need it.

note: there was a sdtsdgn.c program at the site but it required
2 .h files and a library that I didn't have, so I could not create
an exe.
