                 Food Labeling Regulations
   
      as published in the Federal Register, January 6, 1993
   
                    Diskette Edition
                                                                 
   
   
   I.   Facts about this edition of the Food Labeling Regulations
   
   Officially published in the Federal Register of January 6,
   1993, the Food Labeling Regulations are presented on the
   Federal Bulletin Board in a series of 27 ascii text files, 9
   WordPerfect files for tables, and 16 graphics files in .tif
   format.  While every attempt has been made to present the
   files exactly as they appear in the Federal Register, in any
   instance of conflict, the official printed edition of the
   Federal Register should be used as the preferred version.
   
   The table and graphics files have filenames that indicate the
   text files in which they belong.  For example, the table for
   filename NO92_565.ASC (Health Messages: Fiber/Cancer) is
   listed as filename NO92_565.TAB later in the file system.  All
   graphics files are taken from file NO92_519 (Mandatory
   Nutrition Labeling).  The areas from which the graphics have
   been noted by a remark similar to "INSERT 591.TIF".  This
   remark would indicate that graphics file 591.TIF has been
   taken from that area of the text.  The tables have generally
   been taken from the area at the end of the corresponding text
   file.  Using the filenames, one can readily establish which
   table/graphic file is meant for insertion into a given text
   document. 
   
   The nine files containing tables are stored as WordPerfect 5.1
   documents.  They can be retrieved, displayed and printed
   through use of WordPerfect or any of the major word processing
   software packages capable of importing WordPerfect 5.1
   documents.
   
   The 16 graphics files contain images of model food labels. 
   They have been scanned from the camera copy used to print the
   January 6, 1993 edition of the Federal Register.  They are
   stored as .TIF files on diskette 6, and can be retrieved,
   displayed, and printed through WordPerfect, or any software
   package with a graphics display capability.

        16) 600.TIF     Tabular Display
   
   
   The tables and label images incorporated into the text of the
   printed Federal Register edition of these Regulations are
   gathered into separate groups for this bulletin board edition. 
   When you wish to view or print a designated table or graphic
   file (.TIF) of a label image, change to the file containing
   the appropriate table or graphic and retrieve it.  If you are
   using a word processor such as WordPerfect to retrieve a
   graphic (.TIF) file, it may be necessary to perform the
   retrieval through the software's graphic feature.  It may not
   be possible to read the very small text in the label image
   files on your monitor.  In such cases, print a copy of the
   table in order to view the complete text.
