If requesting data, choose a record format:
  - flat character
  - hierarchical character
  - binary (cbf)
Flat character is the largest volume and easiest to use.  It is made up of
ASCII characters and has no hierarchy; i.e., each line contains a value
for each variable.  Database character reduces the volume by applying some
heirarchy but retains readable ASCII characters.  Database binary is more
compact, replacing characters with 16-bit integers.  Binary is also most
efficient for program input/output execution time, but binary format
requires more effort to install access programs than character formats.
Flat character (as well as other formats) can be compressed to save space;
indicate this when desired.

If requesting an access program for ASCII hierarchical or binary format,
describe your computer operating system:


Choose transfer medium:
  - email (small amount only)
  - ftp transfer
  - CDRom
  - Exabyte
  - DAT
  - DLT
  - PC floppy
  - Zip (specify density)
