WMS can import ARC/INFO® ASCII grid for use as a background DEM. Since it is a simple file format, other digital elevation data can be formatted in the same way and then imported into WMS using the Open command in the File menu. This will bring up the Importing ArcInfo Grid dialog.
The CASC2D model may also import and used ARC/INFO® grid files when defining map parameters. The file format is shown in Figure 1 and an example file in Figure 2.

| nrows nrow | /* Number of rows in the grid */ |
| xllcorner x | /* Lower left x coordinate of grid */ |
