CD ROM or diskette may be mailed in the same package and must be postmarked by the

due dates to avoid penalties and interest charges. Send to the address listed in the

prevent damage. Suggestions are: “Fragile, Keep Away From Magnets, Do Not X-Ray,

Contents: Magnetic Diskette, May be Opened for Inspection”.

Processed CD ROM‟s or diskettes will NOT be returned.
