Abstract: GARNET (Graphic Analysis of Resources using Numerical Evaluation Techniques) is a system developed by the National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS). Through the invocation of approximately 20 commands, the user can create contour plots at specified map scales, calculate coal resource tonnages for a given area, edit data and add interpretive point data. GARNET is used in conjunction with PACER, the retrieval system which accesses NRCDS data bases. The user retrieves relevant data from the data base of interest (USTRAT, USCHEM, etc.), then runs the data through the auxiliary program called VLATLONG. Once these steps are completed, the user may utilize the GARNET system. GARNET is currently installed on the Honeywell/Multics 68/80 computer at the US Geological Survey (USGS) in Reston, Virginia. It is designed primarily for interactive usage, i.e., the user is prompted for commands and parameters while the program is running. However, many of the commands and operations can be accomplished in a batch mode by an experienced GARNET user to reduce costs. This manual is intended for the user who has had at least the Introduction to Multics course or equivalent experience.
