FILES ON THIS DISK MT-RASS.EXE Self-extracts the files MT-RAS-B.DBF and MT-RAS-C.DBF which will require 200K of disk space. MT-PLUTO.EXE Self-extracts the files MT-PLU-D.DBF, MT-PLU-E.DBF, MT-PLU-F.DBF, MT-PLU-G.DBF, and MT-PLU-H.DBF which will require 500K of diskspace. MT-MRDS.EXE Self-extracts the file MT-MRDS.DBF requiring 8MB of disk space. MT-MIL.EXE Self-extracts the file MT-MILS.DBF requiring 800K of disk space. A compression program was run on each of the four executable files listed above. This was done to enable distribution of all the data on one floppy diskette. To access the archived files, simply copy the desired FILENAME.EXE to your hard drive. After copying the file to your hard drive, type the FILENAME.EXE and press the Enter key. The file will decompress automatically. The first two letters of the archived filenames designate the state followed by a dash and three or four letters indicating the database where the files originated from. The decompressed filenames also designate the state in the first two letters, followed by three or four letters to identify the database. RASS and PLUTO database filenames include another dash followed by a letter indicating the source where the samples originated from. This sample source information is explained in the file 95-229.TXT All of the decompressed files are in dBase (.DBF) format. This format was used due to the widespread availibility of many spreadsheet and database software programs capable of importing dBase formatted files.
