The Virtual FormGuide - Historical Zip Files
Service Description
A number of software developers have standardised on The Virtual FormGuide zip files as their preferred input for their programs. As a result, Cyberhorse has established an historical archive of zip files to enable TVF Members to do more extensive testing of their systems. Individual meeting form files can be downloaded at a cost of $0.50c each.
How To Use This Service
We have 4 year's historical form files available in the standard TVF zip file format (refer to the Help Menu for more details). Zip files prior to 2004 have 5 Start Form and those since 01/01/2004 have 10 Start Form. The data can be searched for by month and state and then for metropolitan, provincial or country meetings during that month. To make multiple file downloads faster we have designed the system to email the form files to you, instead of having to download them one at a time.

Members should take a couple of precautions before commencing ordering of form archive files :-

  • Go to the Change Details link in Member Administration and check that the email address in your TVF Member File is correct. This is the address that your files will be sent to.
  • Make sure that your mailbox is not full. We have designed the download system so that you cannot download more than about 20 zip files at a time, which will produce a 1-2Mb email. Creating several of these in one session, however, could easily overflow your email box.

If for whatever reason, your ordered files do not arrive, do not despair. You may re-order them and you will not be charged a second time. Files that you have already ordered and paid for are marked, so you do not waste time by downloading more than once. However, if you have had a delivery problem, the file will be marked by us as having been delivered, so you will have to keep track of which files you have actually received yourself.
Service Availability
Historical Zip Files are archived in the Historical Form archive 2 days after the meeting. They are only able to be delivered by email using the ordering method described above. We are unable to make them available in bulk on a CD-ROM.
