Getting Started

Many supporting documents and user guides on this CD are Adobe
Portable Document Files(PDF). These PDF files are only viewable
using Adobe Acrobat or the freeware Acrobat Reader by Adobe
Systems Inc.
If you do not have one of these utilities you can install Acrobat
Reader by clicking on "Install Software" from the "Getting Started"
menu and select "Install Acrobat Reader 4.05".
The Acrobat Reader provided on this compact disc is compatible
with Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT.  Versions of Acrobat Reader for
UNIX can be downloaded from the Adobe web site.  A link to their
web site can be found by clicking on "Other Resources" from
the main menu.

Spatial data files on this CD can only be displayed using GIS
software. If you have GIS software such as ARC/INFO, ArcView,
MapInfo, GeoMedia, AutoCad Map, etc... installed on your computer
you will not need to install ArcExplorer.
If you do not already have GIS software, ArcExplorer, by
Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI), is
provided.  ArcExplorer is a freeware program compatible with
Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT.  To install ArcExplorer click on
"Install Software" from the "Getting Started" menu and select
"Install ArcExplorer 1.1".

There is an option to "Browse Geologic Map" from the main menu.
Here you can choose between the PDF version and the ArcExplorer
version.  The ArcExplorer version is a simple project showing the
geologic map units as unique colors.  Major roads, city/town
locations, placenames, and county boundaries are shown but are
not active.  This basic ArcExplorer project can be saved to the
users hard disk and further modified.

NOTE:
It is highly recommended that you read the ArcExplorer user guide
before installing the software.  The user guide contains detailed
information on how to use the software and shows how to get
additional support from ESRI.  A link to the ESRI web site can be
found by clicking on "Other Resources" from the main menu.
