another diskette to send to your state. Diskettes must be formatted
using DOS 5.0 or higher on an IBM PC or compatible computer.
Submitting Electronically to States
Submitters must submit a copy of each Form R or Form A to the
appropriate state agency (see the table below to determine if the state
accepts magnetic media).
