4. DISCUSSION.
a. Maximum utilization of FED LOG is obtained on a Coast Guard Standard Workstation
(CGSWS) equipped with a CD or DVD drive and a licensed copy of Microsoft Windows 2000 or
Windows XP operating system. FED LOG is usually played in a four-drive configuration.
However, there are two optional add-on CDs to the FED LOG program that may be installed.
Disk 5 contains a characteristics search program that allows you to search not only by item, but
by color, material, grade, length, size, etc. Disk 6 is a drawing disk that can be used to visually
pick out items. With disk 6 the user may view drawings of various objects to locate the correct
path. Starting with the October 2004 edition, FED LOG will be available either on a five-disc
CD set or a single DVD. The previous CD set options of basic (discs 1-4), characteristics (disc
5), and/or drawings (disc 6) will not be produced separately. The five-disc CD set and DVD will
contain all the data in the previous six-disc set, plus additional Federal Logistics Information
System packaging data.
