Netscape Navigator 2.0 can be used with limitations; for example, it will not allow you to submit a PDF form, and operations such as printing PDF files from within Netscape Navigator 2.0 can crash your Mac. You may also be able to use other Web browsers that fully support the Netscape APIs. If you have more than one Navigator folder on your hard disk or you wish to view PDF files within the window of another Netscape-compatible browser, copy PDFViewer to its plug-ins folder. If you have multiple versions of Netscape Navigator, be sure that the plug-ins folder associated with the version of Netscape you'll be using contains PDFViewer version 1.0. (You can see the version using the Finder's Get Info command.) To access URLs embedded in PDF files when using Acrobat Reader outside of a Web browser, you must specify your preferred Web browser in Acrobat Reader's Weblink Preferences dialog box. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences/Weblink/WWW Browser Application.

The map is part of a worldwide series on CD-ROM by the World Energy Project of the U.S. Geological Survey. The goal of the project is to assess the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world, and to report these results by the year 2000. For data management purposes the world is divided into eight energy regions corresponding approximately to the economic regions of the world as defined by the U.S. Department of State. South Asia (Region 8) includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Each region is then further divided into geologic provinces on the basis of natural geologic entities and may include a dominant structural element or a number of contiguous elements. Some provinces contain multiple genetically related basins. Geologic province boundaries for South Asia are delineated using data from a number of geologic maps, and other tectonic and geographic data (see References). Offshore province boundaries are defined by the 4000-meter bathymetric contour on the Alantic coast and the 2000-meter bathymetric contour on the Pacific coast. Each province is assigned a unique number; the first digit is the region number. It is attempted to number the provinces in geographical groups; onshore, offshore, and combined on and offshore. The list of the provinces sorted by Code is shown in Adobe Acrobat region8.pdf file. Oil and gas field data from Petroconsultants International Data Corporation worldwide oil and gas field database are allocated to these provinces. The geologic provinces are being further subdivided into petroleum systems and assessment units in order to appraise the undiscovered petroleum potential of selected provinces of the world. Specific details of the data sources and map compilation are given in the metadata files (MAP_META, GEO8, PROV8 and PROVWRLD) on this CD-ROM. Smaller stratigraphic subdivisions of Phanerozoic rock are combined to simplify the map and to maintain consistency with other maps of the series. Precambrian rocks are undivided. Oil and gas field markers represent field center-points published with permission from Petroconsultants International Data Corp., 1996 database. This map is compiled using Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) ARC/INFO software. Political boundaries and cartographic representations are based on ESRI's ArcWorld 1:3M digital coverages, and used with permission from ESRI (attachment B). These same features are used for general reference only and have no political significance.

Adobe Acrobat Reader - Portable Document Format (pdf) ESRI's ArcExplorer - ArcExplorer Projects (aep) ESRI's ArcView - ArcView Projects (apr) The Adobe Acrobat file is suggested for slower computers. It provides graphic images of the Map Showing Geology, Oil and Gas Fields, and Geologic Provinces of South Asia. It also features the accompanying Preface, Introduction, Contact Information, Data Processing Steps and List of Geologic Provinces. The maps can be zoomed and panned. The software needed to view this file is included on this disk. The ESRI ArcExplorer project presents the data in a simple GIS format, that can be zoomed and panned. In addition, the data layers can be queried. The necessary software is included on this disk. The ESRI Arcview project offers a more sophisticated GIS presentation of the data. The map can be zoomed and panned. The cartographic symbols are more refined and the data tables can be queried. The software must be purchased from a vendor.

On the CD-ROM several installers for various platforms are provided. To install Open the ACROREAD directory. Acrobat installation programs and instructions for either 16 bit or 32 bit installation on Windows, Macintosh and Unix platforms. Select the appropriate readme file corresponding to the operating system in use and follow the instructions for installation. If Acrobat Reader 3.0 or greater is installed, region8.pdf can be opened from the root of this disk. For better performance, it is suggested that the pdf file be copied to a local hard drive. (Approximately 5 MB) ESRI ArcExplorer Project ArcExplorer is developed for Windows 95/98/NT, but Macintosh computers capable of running Windows emulators such as SoftPC (TM) and VirtualPC (TM) can run the ArcExplorer project from this CD-ROM. ArcExplorer 1.1 is provided in this CD-ROM for local installation. The installation program, aeclient.exe, is found in the ARCEXPLR directory at the root of this disk. ArcExplorer can also be obtained from ESRI's web site: http://www.esri.com/software/arcexplorer/index.html An ArcExplorer tutorial in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (explorer.pdf) is provided in the ARCEXPLR directory. The ArcExplorer project reg8.AEP is located at the root of this CD-ROM. This project can be accessed by either double clicking on the reg8.AEP icon, or by starting ArcExplorer; opening FILE, OPEN PROJECT, and scrolling to reg8.AEP. ESRI ArcView Project ESRI's Arcview 3.x is used to create the U.S. Geological Survey Arcview Project. Note ArcView software is not supplied on this CD-ROM. There are two versions of the Arcview project found on this disk. Both can be found in the directory STH_ASIA/VIEWS. The first, reg8.apr, can be viewed on any platform where Arcview 3.x is already installed. Some modifications to your system, explained below, are suggested. The second, reg8_pc.apr, can be viewed on Windows 95/98/NT platforms without any modification. If the operating system is Windows 95/98/NT, access the project reg8_pc.apr in the directory STH_ASIA/VIEWS. If another operating system is used, an environmental variable, AVDATA08, must be defined in order to optimally access the ArcView project located in the directory STH_ASIA/VIEWS. For a more comprehensive discussion see the install text file in STH_ASIA/VIEWS. On a Macintosh platform modify the "startup" file in the Preferences folder of the System folder to include:System.SetEnvVar ("AVDATA08", "OF97470C") An example "startup" file, startup, can be found in the directory STH_ASIA/VIEWS/MAC. The text file, startup, can be dragged into the Prefernces folder within the System folder. Unix users will need to define AVDATA08 in the ".cshrc file." Windows 95/98 users can define AVDATA08 in the autoexec.bat file as follows: SET AVDATA08 = : For instance if the CD-ROM drive is drive f, set this statement in your autoexec.bat: SET AVDATA08 = f: The computer must be restarted for this change to take effect. Windows NT users can define AVDATA08 by mouse clicking to START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, SYSTEM, then ENVIRONMENT and defining AVDATA08 as the variable, and the CD-ROM drive letter followed by a colon as the value. This Arcview project was developed in Arcview 3.0. When opened in Arcview 3.1 there may be a message asking whether to upgrade to 3.1 tools. It is suggested that the user respond no. There will still be tools and buttons not intended in the original project, but they have no impact on the functionality of the project.
