Globally Changing Analysis Codes
Globally changing analysis code can be done via the clinical search and replace option. If the 'text to be seached for' is a whole number in the range 1 to 255 then the system will assume this is an analysis code and replace it.

Clinical Default
Defaulting to either 'C'linical or 'Q'uit on man record.
Access permission 115 can be used to alter the default (on a per user basis) on the management prompt line. Normally the default is 'Q'uit, with 115 set to yes the default will be 'C'linical.
FDI Scan
There are three changes to the FDI scan software:
- Number of new animal, the system will now use the 'First Registered' field in addition to the normal algorithm so you may see an increase in the 'New Animals'.
- Adolecent Health Check, this check will no longer be carried over on animals over 1 year of age unless you specify the analysis code in the general Health Check category.
- Breakdown by Bronze, Silver, Gold etc, this was being worked out on all clients not just bonded ones - this has been corrected so you will see more realistic numbers in this section.
Vatbook
The vatbook can be run on a per surgery basis for sites connected via leased line/ISDN. Sessions resets are handled in an individual basis and can take place while other users are on the system.
Set 'Separate_Vatbooks
' in params.txt to enable this feature.

pvprice
The 'stand alone' price listing program will now check the prices from the Wholesaler update disk.
Stock Ordering
The 'Send by Fax' has been tided up to make it easier to use and can also be used to send the order via e-mail.
