File Formats

This directory "/pub/structure/" contains a ZIP file called "neotec.zip".  Within this ZIP file are three Arc Interchange format (.e00) files; active.e00, pleistocen.e00, and pre_pleist.e00.  Most GIS software packages (including ArcGIS and Erdas Imagine) have tools or wizards to convert the .e00 format files to Arc coverages or shapefiles.  For more information see your specific software doccumentation.  For ArcGIS users use the Coverage Tools within the ArcToolbox application to convert the files.
