Lithologic Database
The Florida Geological Survey (FGS) lithologic database
contains more than 5,000 lithologic descriptions of cores and cuttings
from wells located throughout Florida. These descriptions are coded and
stored in ASCII files by county. The self-extracting file, LITHPROG.EXE,
contains a program (FGSLOGS.EXE) that will decode, display, and print coded
descriptions.
This page provides information about downloading the
self-extracting files containing the program and data.
The FGSLOGS Program
This is a DOS application. LITHPROG.EXE contains the
program file FGSLOGS.EXE and an ASCII-format user manual (FGSLOGS.TXT).
To unfold any of the self-extracting files (*.EXE), download the file,
and double click on the file name.
PLEASE READ FGSLOGS.TXT PRIOR TO
RUNNING FGSLOGS.EXE
The Data Files
The data files (*.DAT) are stored in compressed files
grouped by region. Each region corresponds to all counties located
within the State's five Water Management Districts. Some counties are
found in more than one compressed file, however, there is no difference
in the *.DAT file for duplicated counties (i.e., ALACHUA.DAT in
SRWMD.ZIP is the same as ALACHUA.DAT in SJRWMD.ZIP). The following is a
directory of data files compressed within each *.ZIP file. Click on the
file name to download the file:

Tips and Tricks for the
FGSLOGS Lithologic Database Program
- All program and data files must reside in the same folder on your
hard drive. Create a folder for these before you download, or transfer
the files into their own folder after they are downloaded.
- The folder you create (in Step 1, above) must be no more than 8
characters long (the old DOS restriction)
- All data files must be extracted from the zipped archive file (*.zip)
before the program will recognize them. Be sure and extract them into
the same folder as the program files.
- When the program is launched, it will first ask for the path for the
data files. Be sure and include a backslash (\ ) after the folder name
where the data files reside. The program will not accept the path name
without that last backslash
Example: Path: C:\Litholog\
