NAME

       bi2cf - a map conversion tool for Crimson Fields

SYNOPSIS

       bi2cf mapname [-p 1|2] [-f b|1|2|h] [-l] [-t mapname] [-i mapinfo] [-o outfile] [-d mapdir] [-O destdir] [-q]

       bi2cf {-h | -v}

DESCRIPTION

       bi2cf is a map conversion tool for Crimson Fields. It takes the data files of maps from Battle Isle, Battle Isle Data Disk 1 or 2, or
       History Line 1914-1918 and converts them into map sources usable with the cfed(6) map compiler for Crimson Fields.  bi2cf can handle both
       uncompressed maps and levels crunched with TPWM.

       For some units and tiles there are no corresponding counterparts in Crimson Fields. These cases are mapped to similar ones if available. As
       a result some maps will not be as balanced as the originals, others may be unwinnable, and still others may even fail to compile. If this
       happens the map in question needs to be adjusted manually.

OPTIONS

       -d mapdir
	  Set the location of the Battle Isle map files.

       -f b|1|2|h
	  Force map type to Battle Isle / BI Data Disk 1 / BI Data Disk 2 / History Line, respectively. Use this option when map format
	  autodetection does not work correctly. Maps from BI Data Disk 1 will always be detected as standard Battle Isle maps, so you have to use
	  -f 1 in that case.

       -h
	  Print a usage message on standard output and exit.

       -i mapinfo
	  Set map info message.

       -l
	  Skip last row and column of the map. This is necessary for maps from the PC version of Battle Isle.

       -o outfile
	  Write map to file outfile. Default file name is mapname.src.

       -O destdir
	  Set target directory for the converted map. This setting is ignored if a map name was given using the -t option.

       -p 1|2
	  Set default number of players for this map.

       -q
	  Run quietly. Don't print processing information on standard output.

       -t mapname
	  Set title and file name for the converted map. Default is maptype-mapname.

       -v
	  Print version information on standard output and exit.

NAME

       ypwhich - list which host is Network Information System server or map master

SYNOPSIS

       domain] [hostname]

       domain] [mname]]

   Remarks
       The  Network  Information  Service  (NIS) was formerly known as Yellow Pages (YP).  Although the name has changed, the functionality of the
       service remains the same.

DESCRIPTION

       lists the host name of the Network Information System (NIS) server that supplies NIS services to a NIS client.  It can also print  the  NIS
       server  that is the master for mname.  The mname can be either a mapname or a map nickname.  A map nickname is a synonym by which a NIS map
       can be referenced.

       If invoked without arguments, prints the host name of the NIS server serving the local machine.	If hostname is specified, that machine	is
       queried to determine which NIS server it is using.

   Options
       recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:

	      Specify a      domain other than the one returned by domainname(1).

	      Specify the version
			     (n) of which is to be queried.  Permitted values for n are 2 for V2 and 3 for V3.	V3 is the default.

	      Inhibit the translation of a map's
			     nickname  to  its corresponding mapname.  For example, fails because there is no map named whereas translates to This
			     option is useful if a mapname is identical to a nickname (which is not true of any HP map).

	      List the master NIS server for a map.
			     No hostname can be specified with The mname can be a mapname or a map nickname.  If mname is omitted, a complete list
			     of available maps and the corresponding host names of the master NIS servers is produced.

	      Display the    nickname for each NIS map.

WARNINGS

       Starting with ONCplus version B.11.31.02, the NIS Version 1 protocol is no longer available.
