Contents

This is an 'Autoplay' product for Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP. To launch navigate to the root directory and double-click on ‘Autorun.exe.’  The autorun menu provides access to the open file report, PDF versions of the map products, and opens the open file’s contents in Explorer.

ArcGIS Users

An ArcGIS map document (\data\of7038.mxd) has been provided.

The data source for LANDSAT_DEM_TEXTURE_21 is more than 16 GBytes.  This appears as a broken layer in the Raw Data data frame.  To fix this issue, uncompress raw_data.rar by using WinRAR v 4.11 provided within the \apps directory and then change the layer’s source in ArcGIS.

To use this in ArcGIS 9.3, you will need to create a 9.3 compatible geodatabase and change all of the layer sources to point to the new geodatabase.

The geodatabase contained in \data\gdb is a Arc 10.0 File Geodatabase, but the XML can be imported into an empty Arc 9.x File Geodatabase.  To repair the broken links in the of7038.mxd the Arc 9.x geodatabase will have to be constructed, and the sources must be changed in the layers properties to the equivalent feature class within the new geodatabase.

Directory structure

readme.rtf - this file
licence_agreement_e.rtf - end-user agreement in English 
auto*.*, cover.bmp - files for displaying menu.  You can run this manually by
      	           	       double-clicking the autorun.exe icon

\app	- Contains the installation file for WinRAR™ v 4.11 for Windows®, 
          	  downloaded from (http://www.win-rar.com/download.html).  Please visit
	  this web site for system requirements, documentation and user 
	  guides. The License agreement that you agree to upon installation 
	  can be found at (http://www.win-rar.com/winrarlicense.html).
 
	  Installation of WinRAR™ under Windows® requires administrator 
	  privileges.  During installation, files are put in the TEMP 
	  directory.  A TEMP environment variable must be set and the 
	  TEMP directory should be writable. 
 
	  To install WinRAR™, run or double-click on the file (wrar411.exe) and 
         	  follow the instructions of the installation wizard.

\data	- Data files for GIS analysis and querying, an ArcGIS ArcMap document
          	  (of7038.mxd) is also included for version 9.3.  To repair the 
	  sources for the layers within the table of contents follow the 
	  instructions provided for the \xml directory.

  \gdb	- ArcGIS File Geodatabase format (.gdb)

  \img  	- Image data formats.  

  \shp	- Geodatabase feature classes in shapefile format.

  \style 	- ESRI style file (.style) which contains the symbology for all of 
	  the features for Paper 66 26.  In ArcMap go to 
	  Custimize --> Style Manager and add in OF7038.style.  
	  The symbology must be added to the features in their properties,
	  or from the table of contents.

  \xml	- Geodatabase in XML Workspace Document format.  ArcInfo or 
	  ArcEditor license levels are needed to import the XML Workspace 
	  Document into a new Geodatabase.  

\meta	- Metadata documentation for this publication.  Metadata for each 
	  dataset is contained in the file geodatabase (in gdb folder) and in
	  XML files for each shapefile in the data\shp sub-folders

\pdf	- PDF format.
