These pages comprise the documentation set that appears
on the Geological Map of Canada, CD-ROM version (D1860A).

This CD-ROM has been created as a companion to the 1996 printed Geological
Map of Canada (Map 1860A). The CD-ROM is not just a digital version of
Map 1860A: it contains a complete bilingual GIS spatial database from which
a variety of thematic geological maps can be created. Map 1860A is just
one of those themes.
Included on the CD-ROM are all of the Arc/Info files used in the production
of the printed map, including a bilingual database. In addition, the data
is provided in several common interchange formats (*.E00, *.SHP).
This CD-ROM also includes a limited edition of SurView, a viewing application
for Microsoft Windows, developed at the Geological Survey of Canada and
originally released as GSC Open File 2661. SurView can display, print,
and query the *.SHP files. This provides an opportunity for those without
specialized GIS software to delve into the realm of digital geoscience
data and explore the new Geological Map of Canada on their own PC.
