S-57 Conversion Update

Published: February 11, 2000

Summary

If you use ARCS57, ENCREVISION or S57ARC, you'll need this software update.

Description

All of the S-57 conversion commands (ARCS57, ENCREVISION, and S57ARC) now require you to have INFO files installed in the arcexe80/template/s57 directory. These files are missing from the release media for ArcInfo Workstation 8.0.1 for Windows NT-Intel and Compaq's Alpha NT.

To install the S-57 INFO files

Create the <drive>:\<install_location>\arcexe80\template\s57 directory
Download and unzip the arcs57.zip file to <drive>:\<install_location>\arcexe80\template\s57\info

You should now see these files listed in the info directory:

Arc.dir Arc0000.dat Arc0000.nit Arc0001.dat Arc0001.nit Arc0002.dat Arc0002.nit Arc0003.dat Arc0003.nit

You can also check to make sure the proper files are there by changing directories to the s57 directory, entering Arc, and typing "DIR INFO". You should see this listing:

Arc: dir info  TYPE NAME  INTERNAL NAME    NO. RECS LENGTH  EXTERNL DF  S57.AGEN
