Instructions for Using Landtype Association Coverage
Importing Landtype Association Coverage
The export directory contains one file (r1ltas.zip). This is the compressed version of the Arc Export file which contains the Arc/Info Landtype Association coverage.
- Copy the file called r1ltas.zip to a directory on the hard drive with sufficient memory to
manipulate a large Arc-Info coverage. The compressed export file is approximately 37 megabytes. The imported coverage is approximately 123 megabytes. - Using the WinZip utility, uncompress the file. This will restore the file called r1ltas.e00.
- The file is now ready to be imported using the Arc import command.
Data compatible with UNIX operating systems can be acquired by ordering a copy of the CDROM.
