Known Problems with CD
-------------------------------------

ARCEXPLORER SCALE:  The ArcExplorer scale written above the scale bar is not correct.  The scale bar itself, and the ratio scale to the left of the scale bar are correct for the extent shown on your screen.  When a map is printed from ArcExplorer, the scale bar depicted on the page is also incorrect.  These are bugs within ArcExplorer.
