GETTING STARTED The Digital Surficial Geology CD-ROM is configured to AutoPlay when the CD-ROM is inserted into a Windows PC. When AutoPlay is successful launched you will see a splash screen with the title of the project and 4 buttons on the lower right side of the screen (similar to what is shown below). Select the button called View Data to begin (not on the image above). The CD-ROM includes a viewing application called SurView® for the Microsoft® Windows™ 95, 98, or Windows NT operating systems. SurView is a program for displaying maps on the computer screen. SurView was not designed to be a true Geographic Information System (GIS), however, it does offer an interactive way of displaying geologic data for a user without a GIS. In addition, there is no need to install SurView because it can be executed directly from the CD-ROM. When you select View Data, SurView will open an index map of the project area that is used to access the digital surficial geology for each map sheet. To use SurView see below for a brief overview of what can be viewed. Using SurView with the Digital Surifical Geology CD-ROM: For more information on using SurView you can refer to the Help menu item or go through the SurView tutorial. Arc/Info and ArcView Users:
