Pengantar ArcGIS 9.3
The ESRI company web site refers to ArcGIS as a "scalable system of software for geographic data creation, management, integration, analysis, and dissemination for every organization, from an individual to a globally distributed network of people.
Under this software architecture users can have access to various "ArcGIS clients" (ArcView, ArcEditor, ArcInfo) and "servers" (ArcSDE, and ArcIMS). The ArcGIS "DESKTOP" provides the user access to different clients when the data files are local.
Because ArcGIS is a "scalable" GIS software solution, the modular can be added when the user needs additional functions.
ArcView 9.x consist of three desktop applications: ArcMap for display and query, ArcCatalog for geographic and tabular data management, and ArcToolbox for basic data conversion.

ArcView 9.x consist of three desktop applications: ArcMap for display and query, ArcCatalog for geographic and tabular data management, and ArcToolbox for basic data conversion.
ArcEditor provides the data editing functions required in enterprise settings. ArcEditor includes the display and query function of ArcView and adds the ability to edit topological relationships in a geodatabase.
ArcInfo is the most comprehensive product in terms of functions. In addition to the display and query function of ArcView and the editing functions of ArcEditor, ArcInfo provides the geoprocessing and data conversion required of a complete GIS software solution. ArcInfo contains both the ArcInfo "Desktop" and "Workstation" applications. Often referred to as user interfaces, these two applications provides the user with either the classic command line interface (arc, arcedit, arcplot, aml) as well as the now more familiar ArcView applications (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox).
Like all Windows programs, the ArcGIS applications can be started by selecting START > PROGRAMS > ARCGIS and the pick the application you want (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox), or ArcInfo Workstation and its various modules.
