About the ArcMap9_ArcReader9 folder
==================================

The ArcMap™9.1 and ArcReader™9.1 projects utilize ESRI™ shape files for the geological derivative themes in geographic projection from the folder AllThemesMerged, in which continental segments used for the ArcView 3.1 projects are merged into one shape file for each theme.  The South Polar Orthograhic view also utilizes special pre-projected ESRI shape files for Antarctica, because the geographic shape files do not extend to the pole.  Full geospatial data sets for faults (primary key FTNO) and bedrock domains (primary key RUNO) are also included. References are rolled up for each feature by RUNO in MS-Access™2000 database Rockunits.mdb, and by FTNO in Faults.mdb in the MSAccess_Files data folder, and can be joined to fltworld and roxworld vector data sets, respectively. Of course, users can create their own project files with any of the data in that folder to produce their own custom maps and map layers.  Avl files in the zipped ArcView31 folder can be used to quickly create preliminary symbolization for the files to be included in a custom project.

To use the ArcMap™9.1 project files, ArcMap™9.1 must be installed on your computer and the source data folders organized in the same fashion as on this CD-ROM; simply click on the project file names (mxd extension). To use the ArcReader™9.1 project files, ArcReader™9.1 (installation package in the \apps folder of this CD-ROM) must be installed on your computer and the source data folders organized in the same pattern; simply click on the project file names (pmf extension).
