ABSTRACT

data with the means to (1) understand the strengths and
limitations of GIS, (2) access and query GIS data in ARC/INFO and
ArcView, and (3) perform simple analyses of GIS data using
ARC/INFO.  Text discussions, hands-on training sessions, and
problem-solving exercises will be covered in the manual.   It is
assumed that the user has general UNIX and OpenWindows (the UNIX
graphic user interface) experience and little or no GIS or
cartographic knowledge.  There will a brief introduction to UNIX;
