Your Working Folders
To provide a personal work area for use with the exercises, create your own
working folder under the c:\mercator\tutorial folder. For example, if your name
is Mary, create the c:\mercator\tutorial\Mary folder.
Create Your Working Folders
Create a chapter-specific structure of folders under your personal folder. Exercises
are presented in each chapter. The contents (files, maps, and type trees) should
be organized in separate folders (one folder for each chapter) to provide a clear
understanding of each exercise.
