This utility is designed to check for the presence, validity, and access permissions of the TVStudy terrain and NADCON data. To use it, simply place the files contained in the checkTerrain.zip file in the dbase directory. Then, change directory into your dbase directory, and from the command line, run: python checkTerrain.py On the test machine, with the optional CDED and NLCD data installed, the verification took about five or six minutes.
