interactive tutorial that shows the user, step by step, the different parts of 
the document and gives an overview of how to navigate the Acrobat Reader document.  

3. DATAROOM 
The dataroom is a directory with subdirectories for each data set and contains 
all the RAW data in ASCII format. These data have to be opened manually using a 
spreadsheet application. None of these data can be accessed from the Acrobat Reader program.
The name of the specific file and the file location in the dataroom is indicated on 
each PDF graphics.

The Shear Wave Velocities data are subdivided in 4 folders:
1. Borehole shear wave velocity logs: cd drive:\DATAROOM\Borehole\*.xls

2. Seismic cone penetrometer: cd drive:\DATAROOM\SCPT\scpt*.xls

3. Surface shear wave refraction soundings: cd drive:\DATAROOM\Surref\site*.xls

4. Seismic lines (Dynamic Oil) with shear wave velocity analysis locations: 
cd drive:\DATAROOM\Dynlines\*\*.xls
 
The digital data for the borehole conductivity, gamma, magetic susceptibility and 
generalized geology can be found in:  cd drive:\DATAROOM\Geophys\*.xls

Digital data associated with the Conoco Dynamic Mud Bay Well report can 
be found in: cd drive:\DATAROOM\Mudbay.dat

The UTM coordinates for all survey sites can be found in : cd drive:\DATAROOM\UTMcoord.dat
