VA National Formulary - June 2007:
vanf.exe (contains vanf.pdb: 70 KB)
Install the palm database file "vanf.pdb" as you would any other palm
file. If this is an update, it will overwrite your current file when installed
to your PDA. By default, the database is NOT write-protected. If you
are concerned about accidentally modifying the data, see "How to Write-Protect"
below. This will have to be done after each download of a database.
