Data
Documentation
Roadmap
Software

Some of the folder and filenames may seem funny to you. This is because the ISO-9660 standard has a limitation of eight characters per filename. This makes it possible for this CD to be read by PCs, Macs and Unix systems. However, we try to make the filenames recognizable more or less. For example, the Guided Tour is located in the /ROADMAP/GUIDTOUR.HTM file.

Now, you may click the README.TXT icon for background information on this CD or you may click the Guided Tour icon to start. Below are descriptions of the contents of each topmost folder:

Data

The DATA folder contains images, text file descriptions of the images, and other data. A description on how the image data is organized is now available. A good way to see the images is through the Picture Room in the Guided Tour.

Pre-mission images and information is also now available. The information is a bit raw though.

Document

The DOCUMENT folder contains five lesson modules for students, a teacher's guide and files to create overhead projector slides for classroom presentations. A description on how is the documentation organized is available. You may also view the documentation on-line. Start by looking at the table of contents for lesson plans, slides and teacher guides.

Roadmap

The ROADMAP folder contains the HTML files that show you how to get around CD. Descriptions of how the CD is organized, what software is available and other general information is located here. The Guided Tour is located in file /ROADMAP/GUIDTOUR.HTM on the CD.

Software
