Downloadable File

 

acon.exe
(2.9 MB)

This exe file is the non-Oracle version of ACON.exe for the Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/XP release of version 10.9.2.

acon_10g.msi
(174 MB)

This MSI file is a windows installer application to install the application ´ACON´, which holds the ACON.exe file and all the support files for the Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/XP release of version 10.9.1. Also included is the CGI version ACONConsole.exe which omits the graphical user inteface.

acon_10_8_01_setup.exe
(174 MB)

This EXE file is a windows installer application to install the application ´ACON´, which holds the ACON.exe file and all the support files for the Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/XP release of version 10.8.01. Also included is the CGI version ACONConsole.exe which omits the graphical user inteface.

NOTE: As of version 10.7.08 the aggregate command now rounds down to the the lower cell boundary value, including data containing negative values. This will affect existing user scripts that adjust aggregated data to the center of the cell. Previously, aggregation with negative values rounded towards zero, so that adjusting for the cell offset would be different between negative value and positive values.

Drainage.zip
(92.7 M)

This ZIP file contains the ACON overlay files for the drainage and provincial/state outlines for NS, NB, PEI, NFLD, Quebec, and Maine. These overlays are provided separately due to their large size (for example, the Quebec drainage overlay contains 62001 overlay line segments).
After unzipping this folder, it should be moved into your ACON overlays folder.


Home Folder:

If you install ACON into a folder other than C:\Program Files\ACON\ (on the PC) you should edit the file DrivePath.acn stored with ACON.exe in the Engine folder (MapPath.acn and ObjectPath.acn are also stored there as well, but will not normally require editing). These ACON functions are used to ´point´ to the home folder of ACON so that files such as the overlay files and ACON objects may be accessed in a installation independent fashion.

Function DrivePath() {
// returns the Drive ID that ACON resides on
return("C:");
};

This can be used to write scripts that will function regardless of the actual directory name.

Overlay_File(MapPath("coast1"));

Will work correctly as long the the DrivePath and HostPath functions return the correct path.


Acon Documentation in Zip format

If you would like to be able to browse this documentation offline, a file acondoc.zip containing these WWW pages is available for download (713 K). As a static document, it will not necessarily be uptodate. After unzipping the archive containing the folder of html files, open the file index.html with your WWW browser to load the initial page. Note that your browser may attempt to connect to the internet to update the page counter picture.

If you wish to be notified via email when new versions of ACON are available, please send email to blackj@mar.dfo-mpo.gc.ca.
