Wizmap II ISC Edition is a PC/Windows-based program for viewing and exploring earthquake
data files in ISF format. Its main functions are: 

a) spatial display of earthquake data in the form of maps; 
b) the ability to interrogate maps to identify particular events; 
c) the ability to display cross-sections in 2D or 3D showing the depth of hypocentres; 
d) the ability to define polygonal areas and extract earthquake statistics for those areas.

Full details are given in the manual, which is included in the installation.

Version B of this program is identical to Version A except that version B has an upper limit
of 20,000 earthquakes and runs better on lower specification PCs. 

Version A can handle 180,000 events at a time.

Users should check that they have administrator privileges before they run the installation
program (setup.exe). This is particularly relevant when a user is in a networked environment.
They should check with the system administrator/manager if they have any privilege problems 
on installation.

only minor edits.

useful data available.
