Boring Log Design File Builder, Version 2.01. User's Guide

Abstract

The US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) contracted with Nash Computing Services (NCS) to modify and enhance the Boring Los Design File builder (BP), a PC-based MicroStation utility for creating boring log design files. BP was originally developed for the Vicksburg District, US Army Corps of Engineers, to replace an older, minicomputer-based plot system previously in use there. Input for the BP program consists of ASCII data files is derived from a standard originally developed at the New Orleans District nearly 25 years ago. The BP program places boring log plate date into MicroStation design files using Corps-standard soil and rock symbology. These design files may be modified and plotted on any Intergraph platform (ie., PC's or UNIX workstations running MicroStation or VAX minicomputers running IGDS). The initial memory requirements, configurability, and conformance to Corps standards regarding plate size, cell library, symbology, and scaling.
