^** ESRI shapefiles can be used readily in various ESRI products including ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS Explorer (or ArcExplorer). ArcGIS for Desktop is a GIS mapping software application. ArcGIS Explorer (or the older ArcExplorer) is a GIS data viewer that is available free of charge from the ESRI Web site. Detailed documentation about ArcGIS Explorer is available from ESRI as well. An online version of ArcGIS Explorer is also avaliable; however, a broadband connection is suggested when using the online application.

In this context, "data" refer to numerical and textual data (such as in the "pipeline" application), digitial data (such as .las files), digital images (such as digital photographs), scanned records (such as completion reports), and spatial data (such as shapefiles). Some data have been compiled from other sources and the WVGES accepts no responsibility for any inaccuracies in those data. Therefore, we cannot and do not, either implicitly or explicitly, guarantee the accuracy, precision, or completeness of the data. 2. Neither the WVGES nor its staff members are liable or responsible for any damage or loss resulting from the use of the databases or from inaccuracies contained in the databases. 3. These data are provided as a service to the State of West Virginia through the WVGES for the purpose of research and development efforts. Final use of these data is the sole responsibility of the user. 4.
