The Arc/INFO (and ArcView) header files are stored in the /data/elev/esri/hdr and /data/source/esri/hdr directories of GLOBE Volume 1 and the GLOBE Web site.

Color palette files are provided for viewing the data in Arc/INFO and ArcView. ArcView palette files have a .clr extension. In Arc/INFO one specifies the name of a palette file. The same palette files can be used in both ESRI products. The color palette files are stored in the /data/elev/esri/clr and /data/source/esri/clr directories.

The Arc/INFO (and ArcView) header and palette files should be placed in the same directory as the binary data file.
