ArcView Project File
The ArcView project file has been customized to
add a Metadata
button to the View GUI. This button is only functional in the Windows 95/98/NT environment. Metadata
files are available for all spatial data contained on this CD-ROM and
are available on the data listing pages. The
button provides a quick link
to the Metadata for the active layers within ArcView. Selecting
the button will display the Metadata in the computer system's default web
browser.
Though the focus of this CD-ROM is to provide
a means to view the data using ESRI's ArcView program, the data may be
viewed and manipulated using other GIS software. The user may wish to utilize
one of these Environmental Systems Research Institute's (ESRI) software
programs:
For more information regarding the ESRI Arc/Info and ArcView programs and other available software, visit the ESRI home page at www.esri.com.
If you are using a Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) software package other than the ESRI programs, most commercially
available packages are capable of importing ArcView shapefiles. To
familiarize yourself with the data layer, browse graphics
thumbnails of the data layers are available for viewing. The browse graphics
are stored as GIF images and should display in all WWW browsers.
Links to these images are available from the individual metadata files for
the each data layer. The metadata files are also accessible from
the
Data Page.
