ARC/INFO® interchange files for line and polygon covers and ASCII longitude, latitude, depth files derived from the line covers are available on the CD-ROM. A Lake Erie coastline file extracted from the NOS Medium Resolution Vector Shoreline is also available in both file formats. (Please note that the files erie_pol.e00 and epol_pc.e00 include the coastline, while the files erie_lin.e00, eln_pc.e00 and erie_lin.dat do not.)

The erie_lin.e00, erie_pol.e00 and erie_cst.e00 files are UNIX formatted. The elin_pc.e00, epol_pc.e00 and ecst_pc.e00 files are PC formatted.

To download the ARC/INFO® interchange files directly to your hard drive first set the MIME type to text/plain, the file suffix to .e00, and choose the 'save to disk' option. Please refer to your browser's documentation for help on how to do this.
