How to transfer data from one computer to another

This procedure will create a zip file of all the Microvet data and this zip file will be copied onto stiffy disks.

The zip file is then unzipped on the destination computer. Microvet has to be installed on both computers.

WARNING:  The unziped data will OVERWRITE all the current data on the destination computer.

Insert the first disk in drive A

Go to the MS DOS prompt on the file server

Type the following:

            CD\MFW5

            PKZIP   -A   -&V  A:DATA   *.DB?

            EXIT

 

2.  Restore the zip file

Exit from Microvet on ALL the computers

Insert the last disk of the backup set into the destination computer

            CD\MFW5

            PKZIP  -A  DBF   *.DB?
