• Notepad - As a Text Editor or as a file editor
• Sage Line 50 - Import Vatbook Figures to the accounting software.

Note: These options only apply if you are using a Networked PC to access the vet system and the Windows software is installed correctly.

This will take place automatically if:

• You have a supported Terminal Emulator
• Vision FS is running and the drive is mapped

These steps only need carried out once and the rest of this section will explain the steps in detail.

You should ensure that you have .GIF, .CSV, .TXT, .HTML all associated with an application.

1. Make sure you are using a supported Terminal Emulator.
2. Use the option General Applications -> Parameters -> Hardware -> Device
   to make sure the screen you are using has been set correctly - specifically the 'Emulator' option.

1. Creating the Share You can do this either from the Unix side or the Windows side, select the method you are more familiar with.
   • Unix Command Line
     • Log in as root
     • Type: /usr/vision/bin/visionfs share \
--add premvet /u/vetdata "Vet System"
     • Restart the server with:
       /usr/vision/bin/visionfs restart

   • Windows Profile Editor
     • Login to Windows as Vision Administrator (usually root) and go into Network Neigbourhood.
     • Double Click: Name-of-Unix-Server -> Visiontools -> Visionfs -> Profedit
     • Select: Edit -> New Shared Folder
       • Share Name premvet
       • Comment Vet Systems
       • Unix Directory /u/vetdata
       • Click OK
       • Exit Profile Editor, Select 'Yes' to Update Server
     • Go back into Unix m/c in the network neigbourhood and make sure a folder 'premvet' is now present.

2. Security This is an optional step, but we do recommend it is carried out. To stop users accidently editing/deleting critical Premvet data files you should tell the Vision Software not to display certain files.
   • Login to Windows as Vision Administrator (usually root) and go into Network Neigbourhood.
   • Double Click: Name-of-Unix-Server -> Visiontools -> Visionfs -> Profedit
   • Right Click the 'premvet share and select 'Properties'
     • Click the 'Permissions Tab', then the 'Dos Attributes' box
     • Select 'Hidden' from the pull down box
     • Click the 'For filenames matching' option
     • As a minimum enter ?6*
       For more security add the following:
       *.brd *.col *.hlp *.lab *.cnf *.dat *.idx u* *.exe colour* *.inv *.add stk* *.prt *.dir
     • Exit Profile Editor, Select 'Yes' to Update Server

3. Mapping the Drive This is to enable the Windows PC's to 'see' the new share.
   • Double click: Network Neigbourhood
   • Double click: Name-of-Unix-Box
   • Right click: Premvet
   • Select: Map Network Drive
   • Select: Drive P
   • Click OK

   As an alternative, if you are only using Anita as a terminal emulator (version 5) then you can:

   • Login as root
   • Add the following two lines to /etc/default/vet3000

     VisionDir='\\servername\premvet\'
export VisionDir
     Where 'servername' is the name of your server.

Error Number	Reason
2	You do not have drive 'P:' (or VisionFS set) mapped, or the system cannot find the Microsoft Application on your PC to open the document with. Check that you can access the document via 'My Computer'.
31	Windows is unable to associate the document type you are attempting to open/look at. Make sure that the file extension (.exe, .gif) etc. is registered with an application.
