Installation
For step-by-step installation instructions, see the following documents.
Installing Z-MAP Plus with OpenWorks Use the Release 2003.12 Release Notes, these
release notes, and the installation and operation instructions in the Z-MAP Plus Installation and
Configuration Guide.
Installing Z-MAP Plus standalone (without OpenWorks) Use these release notes and the
installation and operation instructions in the Z-MAP Plus Installation and Configuration
Guide.
Updating the MappingLauncher.dat File
If you are updating Z-MAP Plus from a previous version (so that your home directory contains a
MappingLauncher.dat file), delete the MappingLauncher.dat file before you launch Z-MAP Plus R2003.12.0
for the first time. The application automatically generates an updated version of MappingLauncher.dat.
Failure to remove the old MappingLauncher.dat file causes the Z-MAP Plus Command Menu to reflect
obsolete menu options.

Getting Licenses
FLEXlm 7.2e license management software from Globetrotter supplies licenses to run Z-MAP
PlusFLEXlm 7.2e for Solaris and IRIX workstations and FLEXlm 7.2g for Linux workstations.
Software versioning is implemented in the license file (license.dat). License files from previous
releases of Z-MAP Plus 2003.x work with Z-MAP Plus R2003.12.0. If your license file predates
R2003.x, you must get a new license.dat file from your Landmark representative before you can
use Z-MAP Plus R2003.12.0.
If you request a license, make sure you have the 12-character host ID for your system or systems
(servers and clients) as well as server host names. To obtain a host ID, use the lmhostid
command.
Z-MAP Plus has three licensing option groups:
ZFULL Complete Z-MAP Plus Suite
ZSEIS Z-MAP Plus Seismic Suite
ZENG Z-MAP Plus Reservoir Engineering Suite
Each new Z-MAP Plus license file contains ZMAPPLUS, ZCL, and ZMS feature lines plus one of
the following feature groups ZFULL, ZSEIS or ZENG.
If you purchase the OpenVision 3D Viewer option, your license file should also contain the
following entry: ZMAP_3DVIEW.
For complete license installation and configuration information, see the FLEX License Manager
CD-ROM.

New Icons
Three shortcut icons have been added to the top of the Z-MAP Plus window and one icon has been
updated to be more recognizable:
R2003.12.0
File Manager To start the File Manager, click the new File Manager icon (or
select File > Manager in the Z-MAP Plus window). Use the File Manager to
quickly copy, move, and delete virtually any type of file you create in Z-MAP Plus.
You can also use the File Manager to compress MFDs and ZGFs.
Open SeisWorks Data To display the dialog box for opening a SeisWorks
horizon as a grid, click the new Open SeisWorks Data icon (or select File > Open
> SeisWorks in the Z-MAP Plus window).
Save to SeisWorks To display the dialog box for saving grids as SeisWorks
horizons, click the new Save to SeisWorks icon (or select File > Save As >
SeisWorks File in the Z-MAP Plus window).
Open Picture To display the dialog box for opening a picture, click the newly
designed Open Picture icon (or select File > Open > Picture Open in the Z-MAP
Plus window).

The Edit Color Table dialog box now gives you the option to update the display
dynamically or on demandon all platforms. To toggle this option on or off, select or
clear the Update picture dynamically check box.
If you select this option, the map colors change as you move the sliders. For a large
map, this may affect performance. If you choose to update the picture on demand, you
see the effect of color changes only when you click the Apply or OK button. Updating
on demand is particularly useful for optimizing performance if you are working on
maps with large datasets.

Linux: Xterm Window for Z-MAP Plus; Log Files for Other Applications
No xterm window appears for Z-MAP Plus in R2003.12.0. Z-MAP Plus writes errors and session
information to the zmapplus.zlog file in the project directory. Z-MAP Plus launcher error messages
are written to the MappingLauncher.zlog file.
All other applications delivered in R2003.12.0 have xterm windows, which display errors and
session information. This information is available for real-time viewing, but is not saved in any log
file. (No set.zlog, zcl.zlog, or zgfviewer.zlog files are produced.)
Linux: Using Button 3 with Matrox 450 Dual Head Graphics Cards
If you have a Matrox 450 dual head graphics card, clicking Mouse Button 3 (MB3) may cause the
monitors to suddenly appear blank (solid black). To restore normal viewing, move the mouse
slightly. If you encounter this problem, make sure you have installed the latest drivers from the
graphics card manufacturer.
