All coverages contain the standardized attributes for arcs and polygons assigned by ARC/INFO. For arcs these attributes are:
COLUMN--ITEM_NAME----------WIDTH-----OUTPUT-----TYPE---#_DECIMALS
1-------FNODE#---------------4----------5---------B---------\
5-------TNODE#---------------4----------5---------B---------\
9-------LPOLY#---------------4----------5---------B---------\

17------LENGTH---------------8---------18---------F---------5
25------<cover>#-------------4----------5---------B---------\
29------<cover>-ID-----------4----------5---------B---------\
For polygons these attributes are:
COLUMN--ITEM_NAME----------WIDTH-----OUTPUT-----TYPE---#_DECIMALS
1-------AREA-----------------8---------18---------F---------5
9-------PERIMETER------------8---------18---------F---------5
17------<cover>#-------------4----------5---------B---------\

*************************************************************************
The database consists of five coverages which contain the folowing data:
COVERAGE---ENTITIES----DESCRIPTION
MV-GEO-----POLY/ARC----Geologic contacts and unit labels.
MV-FLT-----ARC---------Geologic structures (faults, fold axes, and caldera margins).
MV-ATT-----POINT/ARC---Bedding attitudes (point data and graphical representations).
MV-SYM-----POINT/ARC---Structure symbols such as bar-and-ball, strike-slip arrow, and anticline/syncline arrow symbols (point data and graphical representations).
MV-XS------POINT/ARC---Cross-section line on map (line and label points).
*************************************************************************
