Yes. Our technician corresponded with USGS regarding the Dataware
software used for this and for the GNIS Gazetteer.
There's a configuration file called _dw_.cfg
Use a plain text editor like Notepad or Wordpad to open this file and
edit a single line in it.
The line for "Driver" points to a default drive that we think was
some sort of DOS environment variable. This needs to be changed to
point to the real CD-ROM drive (in our case, the E: drive):
Driver = "E:\"
This allowed the program to run on an NT workstation.
