What You Need To Contribute Data Electronically

• PC or Macintosh capable of running DOS applications
• Microsoft Word 6.0c or Tilia2
• 1.2 Mbytes of free disk space
• 486 or better processor

Follow these steps

1. Press the [Data Contribution] button below
2. Copy contrib.exe to directory of your choice (66 Kbytes)
3. At the DOS prompt, type contrib within chosen directory
   

contrib.exe is a self-extracting file that will "unzip" all data contribution files into the directory you are in (1.2 Mbytes). Be certain to read let.doc (Word 6.0c) or let.txt (text version) for complete instructions
