Finding Image Data, Software and Documentation

To get an overall view of the CD, run the MS-Windows File Manager located in the Main Program Group. A typical Main Program Group open window is displayed below with the File Manager icon circled in red. Double click this icon to run the File Manager.

In the File Manager, choose your CD-ROM drive. In our case, the CD-ROM drive shows up as drive E: but on your computer it may be a different drive letter.

An overall map of the CD is displayed above. This image is takened from our MS-Windows File Manager. Your display window will look slightly different but the directory structure should be the same. As you can see, the topmost directories are:

Data
Documentation
Roadmap
Software

We have also opened each of these directories to show the next level of subdirectories below them. This will give you a better idea how the CD is organized.

Some of the directory and filenames may seem funny to you. This is because the DOS/MS-Windows 3.1 operating system has a limitation of eight characters per filename. However, we try to make the filenames recognizable more or less. For example, the Guided Tour is located in the /ROADMAP/GUIDTOUR.HTM file.

Below are descriptions of the contents of each topmost directory:

Data

The /DATA directory 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 directory 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 directory 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

The /SOFTWARE directory contains the software that you will need to view the HTML files, display images and play movies. A description of the included software for the PC Special Edition of this CD is also available.
