KNOWN ISSUES
--------------------------------------- 
* If the data required to run WinSplit is on CD-ROM, 
  instead of  a local directory, WinSplit creates empty 
  _w.gsd files when extracting data from only the eastern  
  .gsd files Use.gsd and Uste.gsd) and empty _e.gsd files 
  when extracting data from only the western .gsd files 
  (Usw.gsd and Ustw.gsd).

  For example, if you are extracting New York only, 
  WinSplit creates empty _w.gsd files and valid _e.gsd 
  files. If you are extracting California only, WinSplit 
  creates empty _e.gsd files and valid _w.gsd files.

  Delete any empty .gsd files to avoid mistaking them for 
  valid .gsd files. Empty primary .gsd files are 32 KB, 
  and empty supplemental .gsd files are 16 KB.

DOCUMENTATION ERRATA
-----------------------------------------
* The Centrus Desktop documentation should contain the 
  following information about the USPS eLOT program:

  The Enhanced Line of Travel (eLOT) product is a redesign 
  of the LOT product to more closely resemble the postal 
  carrier’s delivery sequence. eLOT was developed to give 
  mailers the ability to sort their mailings in 
  approximate carrier-casing sequence. To aid in mail 
  sortation, eLOT contains an eLOT sequence number field 
  and an ascending/descending code. The eLOT sequence 
  number indicates the first occurrence of delivery made 
  to the add-on range within the carrier route. The 
  ascending/descending code indicates the approximate 
  delivery order within the sequence number. Mailers can 
  use eLOT processing to qualify for enhanced carrier 
  route presort discounts.
