Please note that the data on the "Data & Maps" disks that ESRI distributes with its desktop GIS software are not "backwards compatible." They cannot be read by earlier versions of the desktop software (e.g. the data that come with ArcView 9.x cannot be read by ArcView 8.x) due to the file compression that ESRI applies to the data. However, it is possible to convert the data so that they can be used with earlier versions of ArcView. Please gis.support@libraries.claremont.edu if you will need assistance with this task.
