|
|
.B \-x
|
|

|
.SH "LIMITATIONS"
|
|
.B empdump
|
|
can't export player bmaps, power report, telegrams, announcements,
|
|
message of the day, no-login message and log files. Exported
|
|
floating-point values may be inexact. Importing an exported game
|
|
state may not result in identical data files; besides the loss of
|
|
floating-point precision just mentioned, coordinates are normalized,
|
|
and characters beyond a string's terminating zero in a character array
|
|
are lost.
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
