1 GETTING STARTED

   The digital data on this CD-ROM
   can be viewed in three different formats:

    Adobe Acrobat  Portable Document Format (pdf)
    ESRI ArcExplorer Projects
    ESRI Arcview Project
    ESRI ArcMap Projects


      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 Europe.  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 projects present the data in a simple geographic
      information systems (GIS) format.  Each map constitutes an individual
      project that can be zoomed and panned.  In addition, the data layers can
      be queried.  The ArcExplorer software is included on this disk.

      The ESRI Arcview project offers a more sophisticated GIS presentation of
      the data.  The maps can be zoomed and panned.  The cartographic symbols
      are more refined and the data tables can be queried.  The necessary
      ArcView software must be purchased from a vendor.

      The ESRI ArcMap projects comprise the most comprehensive GIS and
      cartographic representation of the data. The maps can be zoomed and
      panned. The cartographic symbols are most refined, the data tables can be
      queried and the maps can be plotted on a large format plotter. The
      necessary ArcMap software must be purchased from a vendor and is only
      available on Microsoft windows platforms.


Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (pdf)


      If you do not have Acrobat Reader 4.0.5 installed on your computer,  you
      can install it from this disk.  Open the ACROREAD directory.  There you
      will find Acrobat Reader installation programs and instructions
      installation on Windows, Linux, Macintosh and UNIX platforms.
      When you have installed Acrobat Reader 4.0.5, open europe.pdf in the
      europe directory.
      For fastest performance, we suggest that you copy the file europe.pdf to
      your hard drive. (Approximately 8 MB)

      Note: because of compatibility issues with earlier versions, this file can only
      be viewed with Acrobat Reader version 4.0 or later.
      Because of page size limitations intrinsic to Adobe Acrobat, the layout of
      the maps presented in the Adobe Acrobat file is somewhat truncated. The
      graphs depicting petroleum endowments of assessed provinces in Europe and
      Turkey, to be found on paper copy and plot files of Map Showing Geologic
      Provinces and, Oil and Gas Fields of Europe including Turkey, have been added
      as an extra page. The list of provinces to be found on paper copy and
      plot files of Map Showing Geology, Oil and Gas Fields, and Geologic
      Provinces of Europe including Turkey, has been omitted.


ESRI ArcExplorer
   You must have Windows 95/98/NT/2000 in order to access the ArcExplorer projects on this disk.


      If you already have ArcExplorer 2.0 on your computer, you can open
      the europe directory and  go to explorer\arcexplr.
      The installation program is aeclient.exe.
      If you have ArcExplorer 1.1 on your computer, you can find the projects in
      the europe\explorer directory.
      The ArcExplorer projects on this disk are:
            geo4_2.aep  -  Generalized geology of Europe
            prv4_2.aep  -  Geologic provinces of Europe
      You can access one of these projects either by double clicking on its icon, or by
      starting ArcExplorer, opening FILE, OPEN PROJECT, and browsing to the project
      location.
      For fastest performance, we suggest that you copy the entire
      europe\explorer directory to your hard drive (approximately 13 MB).  The
      directory is designed to be self-contained and requires no other files.


ESRI Arcview Project
   You must have Arcview 3.x installed on your computer to access the Arcview project created by U.S.G.S.


      There are two versions of the Arcview project found on this disk, both are
      found in the directory europe/views.

      The version geo4_2.apr can be viewed on any platform where Arcview 3.x is
      already installed.  Some modifications to your system, explained below,
      are necessary.

      The version g4_2_win.apr can be viewed on Windows 95/98/NT plaforms
      without any modification.



      If your operating system is Windows 95/98/NT, you can access the project
      g4_2win.apr in the directory  europe\views.

      For faster performance, we recommend that you copy the entire directory
      europe\views to your hard drive (approximately 30 MB).  This directory is
      designed to be self-contained and requires no other files.

      If you have another operating system, you must define an environmental
      variable, AVDATA04, in order to access the project in the directory
      europe/views.

      On a Macintosh platform modify the "startup" file in the Preferences
      folder of the System folder with:

    System.SetEnvVar ("AVDATA04", "OF97470I")

      For faster performance, we recommend that you copy the entire directory
      europe/views to your hard drive (approximately 30 MB).
      Unix users will need to define AVDATA04 in the ".cshrc file."

      Windows 95/98 users can define AVDATA04 in the autoexec.bat file as
      follows:

    SET AVDATA04 = < CD-ROM drive letter>:  (drive letter plus colon)

    For instance if your CD-ROM drive is drive f on your computer, put this statement in your autoexec.bat:

    SET AVDATA04 = f:

    You must restart your computer for this change to take effect.

      Windows NT users can define AVDATA04 by mouse clicking to START, SETTINGS,
      CONTROL PANEL, SYSTEM, then ENVIRONMENT and defining AVDATA04 as the
      variable, and the CD-ROM drive letter followed by a colon as the value.
