The files listed below from the National Immunization Survey Request for Proposal (RFP) are
located in: ftp://ftp.cdc.gov/pub/Health_Statistics/NCHS/Proposals/NIS/

For ease of transmission, these files have been converted into two self-extracting compressed
format files. To load and expand the files, do the following: first, copy the compressed files onto
your hard drive into an appropriate subdirectory (for example, NISRFP).  Then go to the DOS
prompt and to that subdirectory and type the name of the file (for example, NIS_RFP) without its
extension and then press ENTER. [This can be done in WINDOWS 95 from the WINDOWS
EXPLORER by double-clicking on the file name (NIS_RFP) in the selected subdirectory/folder].
