Each directory contains data files and documentation files.  The data files 
are in spreadsheet formats in all directories except PUF and ZIPCODE. 
The PUF files are ASCII flat files and the ZIP Code files are database files.
All documentation files are ASCII text files with an extension of "ASC." 
Also, within each directory is a menu structure for the documentation files.
The menu structures reference the files in the documentation by name
and file name on the CD-ROM. 

SPECIAL NOTES

NOTE 1:  Only the ZIP Code directory uses the "GO" software.  To access
                 ZIP Code data:
1.  Change the directory to ZIPCODE
2.  Type "GO"
3.  The documentation files in the ZIPCODE directory can be accessed
       by typing  "TECDOC."

NOTE 2:   Some of the spreadsheet files in the outlying area 
directories (Puerto, Guam, and VI); FRIS; and COV have 
hierarchial headers that may not be obvious when viewing the
tables on your computer screen.  You may want to print the table
or reduce the font on the screen to view the entire table.
