If possible read text files with a proportional font such as Courier.
1. ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE
The arcview project file aspac.apr makes use
of the variable AVDATA03 to construct an appropriate path
to the data directory. In the case of this project,
the variable AVDATA03 points to the root of this disk.
Modify the value set for the AVDATA03 variable as needed.
On a Windows platform modify the "autoexec.bat" to define
the AVDATA03 variable. When the "autoexec.bat" has
been updated, it is necessary to reboot for the changes
to take effect.
On a UNIX platform modify the ".cshrc" file by setting
the environmental variable.
On a Macintosh platform modify the "startup" file in the
Preferences folder of the System folder.
2. CD-ROM DRIVE
The default is to read an Arcview project from the CD-ROM drive.
These three platforms should be able to work directly from
the CD-ROM if various "start-up" files are correctly set.
On a Windows machine it is assumed that the CD-ROM drive
is labeled with a letter, such as f: or g:
Modify the "autoexec.bat" with a statement like:
SET AVDATA03 = D:
where D is the logical drive letter
of the CD-ROM. Replace the letter "D" with the appropriate
letter for the CD-ROM drive, which will point the project
paths to the root of this disk.
With a UNIX machine it is assumed that the CD-ROM drive
is refered to as /cdrom.
Modify the ".cshrc" file with a statement like
setenv AVDATA03 /cdrom
which will point the project paths to the root of this disk.
An example ".cshrc" file, aspac.cshrc, is included on this disk.
With a Macintosh platform the CD-ROM volume will be labeled "of97470f"
Modify the "startup" file in the Preferences folder of the
System folder with a statement like:
System.SetEnvVar("AVDATA03","OF97470F")
which will point the project paths to the root of this disk.
3. LOCAL INSTALLATION
If one desires to have ArcView data reside on a hard drive rather
than on the CD-ROM, files must be copied to a local drive.
Copying these directories locally will result in faster performance.
Directory size approximately 25MB
To view and manipulate these data sets on a PC, it is
necessary to create a new directory, to be named "view03"
on local hard drive C:\. ( Replace the letter "C" with
logical drive letter of other hard drive, if desired)
Copy entire contents of directory "of97470f/view03" from cd-rom
to "view03" on local hard drive C:\ (or other hard drive)
Modify the "autoexec.bat" with a statement like:
SET AVDATA03 C:\view03
which will point the project paths to a directory view03
at the root of the hard drive.
If it is preferred to install the project at another location
it is necessary to modify the "autoexec.bat" statement
to reflect the location to direct the project paths which
would be equivalent to the root of this disk.
To view and manipulate these data sets locally in UNIX,
it is necessary to create a new directory, to be named "of97470f/view03".
The .cshrc file is then modifed to define AVDATA03 as the
path from the root to the directory "of97470f/view03"
which will point the project paths to the location of the
Arcview project and its data.
