help ARCTIGER

ARCTIGER <out_tiger_file_prefix> <in_line_cover} {in_point_cover}
         {in_landmark_cover}
 
converts a set of ARC/INFO coverages into a set of U.S. Bureau of Census
TIGER/Line files.
 
 
 
arguments
<out_tiger_file_prefix> - the file name prefix for files to be written.
File names will include the prefix concatenated with the record type
identifier.  The file prefix may include a directory pathname.
 
<in_line_cover> - the name of the input line coverage containing all the
basic line features and attribute data.
 
{in_point_cover} - the coverage containing the point features
representing polygon label points for <in_line_coverage>.  The input
same coverage may be specified for both <in_line_cover> and
{in_point_cover} arguments.
 
{in_landmark_cover} - the coverage containing the landmark point
features.
 
notes
ARCTIGER is intended to be used in conjunction with the TIGERARC command
and expects the input coverages to have coordinates expressed in degrees
and decimal fractions of a degree of latitude and longitude.  Each INFO
data file must have the same items and item definitions generated by the
TIGERARC command.
 
The <in_line_cover> and <in_line_cover>.ACODE are the minimum input and
files type 1 and 2 are the minimum output generated by the ARCTIGER
command.
 
Up to 10 output files will be created depending on the input coverages
and the associated data files used in the conversion.
 
A File type 3 is not created by ARCTIGER.  Attributes from INFO data
file <in_line_cover>.TYPE3 will not be used in the conversion.
 
The following files will be generated for the specified input coverages
 
<in_line_cover> generates:
{out_tiger_file_prefix}1
{out_tiger_file_prefix}2
{out_tiger_file_prefix}4
{out_tiger_file_prefix}5
{out_tiger_file_prefix}6
 
{out_point_cover} generates:
{out_tiger_file_prefix}A
{out_tiger_file_prefix}I
{out_tiger_file_prefix}P
 
{out_landmark_cover} generates:
{out_tiger_file_prefix}7
{out_tiger_file_prefix}8
