The BTS standard format consists of a linked set of ASCII fixed record length files. File formats and data dictionary for the BTS standard format are described in the documents, "format.txt" and "datadict.txt". Copies of these documents are distributed on each North American Transportation Atlas Data CD-ROM in the "docs" directory. File Decompression Technique: No compression applied. However, if using digital transfer online option, note access instructions. Transfer Size: 1.1 megabytes Digital Transfer Option Online Option Computer Contact Information Network Address Network Resource Name: www.bts.gov/gis/ntatlas/can.html Access Instructions: Anyone with access to the Internet World Wide Web may connect to the BTS server. To access a specific database, go to the address listed above in the Network Resource Name. The visitor can create a "package" of the data set for download. The "package" can be in one of the following formats: .zip - an MS-DOS zip archive; .tgz - a gzip-ed unix tar archive; and .tar - a unix tar archive. Once the package is prepared, the visitor can download the package to their host computer. Online Computer and Operating System: Sun Ultra running Solaris 2.5.1 operating system Offline Option Offline Media: CD-ROM Recording Capacity Recording Density: 650 Recording Density Units: megabytes Recording Format: ISO 9660 Compatibility Information: The NORTAD includes both MS-DOS/Windows and UNIX compatible format files on one CD-ROM Fees: none Ordering Instructions: Call, mail, fax, or E-mail BTS to request the North American Transportation Atlas Data 1998 CD-ROM. This and other BTS products may be ordered from the BTS Internet site (www.bts.gov/btsprod/).
