These are Dbase III+ files which are the taxamast.dbf file which includes a listing of aquatic macroinvertebrates and their known associated tolerance values and the taxmandx.ndx file which is the index for the dbf file. You will not be able to view these files in this environment, however they are available for downloading. You must also download a new Convert.dbf file and the associated index file Oldidnum.ndx. These files as well as the taxamast.dbf and taxmandx.ndx files must be copied to the TAXAMAST subdirectory under your BUG Program. These files are updated on a regular basis as new information becomes available. The dbf file is large and will take some time to download.
