I bought a GIS file from the Railroad Commission quite a while ago. Can I use that in ArcView or ArcInfo?
Unless you bought ArcView shape files (.SHP) or ArcInfo interchange files (.E00) from the Commission during or after January 2000, you probably have GIS data from the Commission s now obsolete Synercom system. If it is absolutely necessary for you to use the Synercom data, you will have to convert it to .SHP or .E00 format. The Railroad Commission, however, no longer exports or supports Synercom data.
