.SH SYNOPSIS
.B blitmap

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Blitmap
displays maps on the jerq terminal.
It relies on the mouse to select regions, functions, and to give
formats for typed commands.
The metropolitan N.Y.-N.J. area is the default map.
.IR Blitmap's
screen consists of two
.IR frames ,
a large frame for plotting maps and printing messages to the user, and
a one-line command frame at the bottom.
.I Blitmap
recognizes two commands from the keyboard,
to designate a region and to scale or plot a route
from one point to another.
A command may be typed at any time.

.SH BUGS
Since the data bases have not been checked and many streets are not connected,
some paths may be circuitous.  There are no connecting roads
from N.J into N.Y or from Middlesex county into Union. The routing programs
will churn, trying to find a through street and will not give up. There are
no one-way street tags on the streets.
.I Blitmap
does not know if it has been reshaped.
