You can now fill in the 1998 CAO application form on the Internet - besides being faster, more accurate and more environmentally friendly (look, no trees) there are no postal costs and it's £3 cheaper than the standard CAO fee. If you don't have Internet access, there is also a floppy disk version (Windows only) - £40 for the Windows 95 version, and £15 for the first disk of the DOS/Windows 3.1 version (then £1 for each additional disk).
