2882.0. "Looking for fy '92/93 annual reports" by HEDRON::DAVEB (anti-EMM! anti-EMM! I hate expanded memory!- Dorothy) Fri Feb 04 1994 22:01

    I have a student in my class that's looking to find a copy of our last
    two year annual reports for a paper she needs to do for her business
    class. It would seem to me that we might have these on-line. If they
    are and someone can provide me with a pointer I'll pull 'em.
    
    Thanks

	The 93 FY report is indeed online on the World Wide Web but I'm not sure it is quite ready for public announcement. Best to watch the Internet_tools notesfile for a pointer. erik
2882.2	VTX IS will do it	PADC::UHLER	Mike Uhler	`Fri Feb 04 1994 23:55`	6
	$ VTX IS Select item 2, Annual Reports, which will give you the last 3 years. /gmu
2882.3	but how do I caputre it from VTX?	ANGLIN::DPROSE		`Sat Feb 05 1994 02:23`	10
	I too tried to get the report from VXT... Please excuse me from asking a question on VTX but is there a way to pull the entire report to a file. I have ried several of the LOCAL> commands and read the help file but no luck. after selection of 2 I then select which report but from there I would like to exctract it to a file any ideas Dennis
2882.4	try this	CSOADM::ROTH	NRA membership: 800-368-5714	`Sat Feb 05 1994 03:21`	16
	At the prompt, enter 'SAVE' followed by return. You will see 3 options- MAIL DEC-ANSI ORIGINAL Pick one of them (I'm not sure which is the one that strips out the cursor stuff... probably MAIL or DEC-ANSI). Put your own filename over top of the one shown. Answer 'Y' to CONT. PAGES question. Go to OK and hit return. All will be saved to the file. Lee
2882.5	I knew it had to be on-line somewhere	HEDRON::DAVEB	anti-EMM! anti-EMM! I hate expanded memory!- Dorothy	`Mon Feb 07 1994 11:48`	13
	re: .4 It doesn't seem to work for me If I just type save my request is incorrect, if I hit PF1 5 (like I would to get a license pak) it allows me to save the section I'm in and only that section. I'm not a heavy VTX user, any help would be appreciated. thanks dave

	>If I just type save my request is incorrect, if I hit PF1 5 (like I would to >get a license pak) it allows me to save the section I'm in and only that >section. Try SAVE/ALL filespec That should save the whole document. Alfred

	Re: past few Sorry, my advice was for a newer version of VTX. The SAVE/ALL should do the trick for your version. Lee
2882.8		HEDRON::DAVEB	anti-EMM! anti-EMM! I hate expanded memory!- Dorothy	`Mon Feb 07 1994 14:03`	14
	Well it doesnt seem to save all of it... I get into vtx is. I select option 1 (inside front cover). I then type sav/all annual_93.txt I get the menu items and the inside cover info only. I suppose I can pull all 18 items for 93. It occurs to me that if this is typical of a customer's experience with VTX, it's no wonder we can't make a profit...but that's fodder for another note. thanks in advance dave
2882.10	They built it that way.	RICKS::PHIPPS		`Mon Feb 07 1994 15:59`	18
	>I get into vtx is. I select option 1 (inside front cover). I then type sav/all > annual_93.txt >I get the menu items and the inside cover info only. I don't know that much about building a VTX database but it seems that is the way the IS people put it together. If you open the policies database, VTX ORANGEBOOK, and get down to a section, you can SAVE/ALL and get the whole thing. >I suppose I can pull all 18 items for 93. It occurs to me that if this is >typical of a customer's experience with VTX, it's no wonder we can't make >a profit...but that's fodder for another note. Looks like that's what you have to do. Their saving and printing help only mentions "the screen of interest". Guess you can only save all when Next --> is on the screen. They have a feedback screen. Tell them about it.

	Dave, you're correct in the way the report is paginated, it can not be saved with one command. However, how one report is paginated internally has little to do with customer's experiences with VTX. One might also be slightly concerned about the title of the report on that page "Digial 1993 Annual Report", but again, customers wouldn't see that either.
