Answers
Q: How can I obtain GREAT-ER?
A: GREAT-ER can be obtained for free from ECETOC. You have to fill the order form and a GREAT-ER CD-Rom with the set-up program will be sent to you by mail by ECETOC. You have to notice that you need Windows® NT 4.0 Operating System and ESRI ArcView® 3.0a, 3.1 or 3.2 GIS Software.
Q: What are the user Licence Conditions associated with GREAT-ER? What does it cost?
A: GREAT-ER is a publically available software, free for scientific purposes. Nevertheless, all rights of the manufacturer and the recorded works on the GREAT-ER 1.0x CD are reserved. See the End User Licence Agreement (10 Kb) for more information. (NB: GREAT-ER 1.0x is released since end 2003 as open source software.)
Q: What are GREAT-ERs technical requirements?
A: You need a Windows® NT 4.0 Operating System and ESRI ArcView® 3.0a, 3.1 or 3.2 GIS Software (expert GIS knowledge is not required). The installation requires a minimum free hard disk space of approximately 50 MB. The recommended RAM is >32MB.
Q: Can I run GREAT-ER 1.0x under Windows 95, 98, 2000?
No, only under Windows NT. The GREAT-ER II system (available in 2003) will allow to work with other operating systems as well. Click here for further information or visit the web site of Technidata.
Q: Where can I get information on ESRI ArcView® GIS Software?
A: Information (price, products & services, documentation, etc.) is available on the ESRI web site. Please, read the page 5 of the GREAT-ER User Manual (1557 Kb).
Q: What is the procedure to install GREAT-ER?
A: Insert GREAT-ER CD-Rom into your CD-Rom driver. Run the set-up program (setup.exe) and follow the instructions. For more detailed information, please read Installation chapter (pages 3-5) of the GREAT-ER User Manual (1557 Kb).
Q: What is the most up-to-date version of GREAT-ER?
A: The current GREAT-ER technical standard is 1.03. GREAT-ER 1.04 is technically the same as 1.03 but contains additional catchments. A GREAT-ER II version is under development and will be available in 2003, which will have a new software architecture and will replace all GREAT-ER 1.0x versions. Click here for further information on this future version visit the web site of Technidata.
Q: How can I update my GREAT-ER version?
A: We do not recommend to use anymore GREAT-ER 1.0 or 1.01 due to the presence of calculation bugs in the simulator module. Please ask for a new 1.04 CD via the order form. If you use GREAT-ER 1.02, you can also download and install the patch (160 Kb) to update the simulator module of your system, or ask for a new CD.
Q: How can I add a stand-alone catchment to any installation?
You can download an update of the catchment (1 Kb) list and install it under the directory 'catchments'. Rupel and Mayenne 1.0 are available as stand-alone catchments. You have to fill the order form and a CD will be sent by mail. For the installation, follow the instructions on the CD and be sure to check that the correct catchement .dbq file is installed.
