This is the aageovu.txt file in the root directory of the CD-ROM.

This disc offers several options for exploring the data contained therein:

1. Set your World Wide Web browser on file aareadme.htm in this
   directory, and proceed from there.
2. Read or print files cdrom.txt, cdrom.ps, or cdrom.htm to explore the
   data more directly.

or

3. the option described here:  The GeoVu data browse and visualization
   system.

This CD-ROM contains a directory \software (off the root directory).
Within that directory are subdirectories:
    freeform (data format utilities - see aareadme.1st files in that
	      subdirectory)
    geovu    (data browse, visualization, subsetting utilities - the
	      subject of this file)
    html     (support files for the "plastic Website" contained on
	      this CD-ROM.  You can probably ignore this directory.)
	      
The \software\geovu directory contains version 2 Release 6 of GeoVu, 
a data browse system developed at NGDC.

Subdirectories:  documnt     contains documentation for GeoVu
		 mac         contains the Apple Macintosh version of GeoVu
		 pc          contains the IBM-compatible PC version..
		 unix_sgi    contains the Silicon Graphics version..
		 unix_sun    contains the Sun workstation version..

Check the "aareadme.1st" files in those directories for more infomation.
The aareadme.1st (and the almost identical aareadme.htm) files contain 
information for installing GeoVu for the appropriate (PC, UNIX, or Mac)
computer.  More thorough documentation on installing and using GeoVu
can be found in the \software\geovu\documnt directory.  In addition, that
directory contains information for developing your own support files, should
you like GeoVu and want to use it for your own data (including adding 
GeoVu to your own CD-ROMs).
