you of upcoming updates to our products - called 'Pending Product

page will indicate that a Product Update is in the works; and
the record will contain details about that Pending Product Update.
As work progresses, we will update this information. If changes
have been made to the record since your last login, the 'new'
flag will appear. When we complete the Product Update, a link
to the downloadable file will become available. You should check
this page regularly for the latest Pending Product Updates. You
may find these and other documents at www.g1.com/support.

Group 1's Product Distribution Services (PDS) is always looking
for new ways to improve the delivery of our products and databases.
As most of you know, some of our databases are getting quite large.
For example, Geographic Coding Plus base with Advanced and Street
Coding is 2.1 GB, which occupies 12 tapes or 4 CDs. Because of this,
we are looking into adding DVDs to our supported media types for
databases. This would allow the Geographic Coding Plus base with
Advanced and Street Coding database to be delivered on one DVD.
Before we jump into this project, we would like to hear from our
customers.
Your answers to the following three questions will assist us in
deciding if DVDs are a viable option for delivering databases. Please
simply answer these three questions and send your answers to PDS@G1.com.
- At the present time can you read DVDs on your system?
- If not do you have any future plans to add DVD support?
- If you knew you could receive your databases on DVD would
you consider adding DVD support?
