A FEW LITTLE RULES- Please DO NOT put anything in Folders or Directories or Drawers as the information really needs to be in the route directory ( straight onto the disk )of the disk. Make sure that i can fit the disk into your stamped self addressed envelope.It does not have to be a jiffy bag.An ordinary envelope will do as i will wrap the disk in tight paper to protect it. Please only use normal 3 1/2 inch disks,double sided double density preferably. Dont forget to stamp your envelope and put your name on it. Please state which computer format you would like the disk on.If you have a PC then it may be easier if you sent a PC formatted disk ( 3.5 DS.DD ). ALL THE BEST Tony Hartley..E.O.D.M.
