Survey Results

    In the past few months we have conducted a survey of TIDB customers to 
    determine how many would prefer receiving TIDB updates on 3 1/2 inch 
    diskettes.  The response has been sufficient for us to plan on producing
    the TIDB in two diskette sizes.  This change will not take place for 
    several months, however.  No date has been set at this time, but you 
    will be contacted later concerning your preferred disk size.
