                    printable as a manual of 81 pages. 

- coq2doq1.zip:     This DOS application decompresses compressed orthophotographs that
                    you have downloaded so they can be viewed with ArcExplorer.  These
                    files are aerial photographs that have been digitally corrected to 
                    be undistorted when viewed as an image in a GIS.

                    application allows you to import ArcInfo format files.  This file
                    format is common in many GIS databases accessable on the Internet.

                    computer.  This allows you to view the 2 presentations in the GIS

- sdefix.zip:      This file is a fix for ArcExplorer for accessing a particular type of
                   file - SDE (spatial database engine).  Most users will not need this.

                    shows some capabilities and applications of ArcExplorer not covered
