This version of the coverage determination software (CDS) contains a functional print option that was not available to users of Windows 98 or Windows NT operating systems in the CDS software package released earlier this year.

3. Click on Run.
4. Click on the Browse button in the Run dialog box.
5. Select the file CDSSetup.exe and click OK. This will open the WinZip Self-Extractor to decompress the downloaded files.

Instructions for operating the CDS software can be found in its manual (PDF file).
