If the subordinate clause precedes the main clause, then the comma is
mandatory. Likewise, even if "then" is implied, the comma is
mandatory. That said, a comma separating the subordinate and main
clause is not mandatory if the subordinate clause follows the main
clause. /\
no comma
If you need to know, on which CD/DVD to find a specific package,
visit... /\ /\
no comma, because /
"on which...package" mandatory comma =/
is a propositional for the "if...package"
phrase subordinate clause
Are prepositional phrases enclosed by commas in German grammar?
