Technical Information
Browsers. This site is best viewed in Netscape, version 6.0
and above, or Internet Explorer, version 5.0 and above. Web site visitors
using earlier versions of these browsers may encounter occasional format
anomalies when viewing and printing pages from the Web site. Performance
of this site has not been tested on browsers other than Netscape and
Internet Explorer.
Links. External sites that are accessed by these links will
launch a new browser session in a single, separate browser window. If a link
is provided to a non-U.S. government site,
users are notified that they are leaving a U.S. government Web site by a separate
page that appears on screen for approximately 20 seconds.
Fonts and Type Sizes. All browsers allow users to select specific
fonts and type sizes for display. Some users select large type sizes
for ease of reading, or specific fonts for personal tastes. The text
and layout should not be adversely affected by a user's selection of
alternative fonts and type sizes.
Printing Pages. This site has been designed to ensure simple
printing in portrait format.
Downloadable Documents. Some documents on this site are available
as downloadable files in Portable Document Format (pdf). These files
can be viewed on microcomputers equipped with recent versions of Adobe
Acrobat Reader. Adobe
Acrobat Reader can be downloaded for free.
There are some known issues with downloading PDF documents, particularly
on Windows systems, due to conflicting changes in the way in which Acrobat
Reader and various browsers talk to one another. But there is a simple
work-around: if you right-click (Windows) or option-click (Macintosh)
on the link, the entire file will be sent to your machine, and then
you can open it off your own hard drive using Acrobat Reader.
Index. A link to the site index appears on every page. The site
index is a complete listing of every page on the site and includes links
to each of those pages.
