In addition to the data file(s) and documentation, you may also need to download the DISTCOPY program to format the data into a form appropriate for import into a PC database product. You may also need to download the Adobe Acrobat Reader or a file compression utility (WinZip or PKZip); if so, click on one of the icons on the left side of this page. You may also require a detailed example of how to use these tools to create a database. This document describes how to use DistCopy and the empty Access 2000 database to create your own searchable database.

The data is complex and some of the files are quite large. Download times may be excessive at line speeds less than that of a T1. This data is not for the casual user. High levels of skill are required to convert the data into a searchable product. Tools are available (DISTCOPY and an empty Access2000 database) to assist in the process, but TAD does not provide any assistance in the use of the data beyond the documentation provided above.
