Information on the technical format for preparing your document is available in the EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II. Please see Sections 5.2.1 (ASCII or text document) or 5.2.2 (HTML documents).

For further reference. Consult your counsel and the Code of Federal Regulations 17 CFR 240.13d-101 to determine if you are required to report, and consult 17 CFR 240.13d-102 to determine if you report using Schedule 13G.  Both schedules include instructions for preparing the content of the Schedule 13D or 13G.  If you have questions about your eligibility to use either schedule, please consult Rules 13d-1 through 13d-7.
