Note: When ArcInfo GRID's or Coverages are copied from this CD to your hard drive, it is necessary to also copy the associated INFO directory. However, because the INFO directory came from a CD-ROM, it will have 'read only' access. In order to access these files properly in ArcInfo software, the user must change the permissions of the INFO directory to allow for 'write' access.
