Launching FIT for Windows



After installing FIT make sure all user permissions are correct. 

There are two ways to launch the FIT:

  1. Double click on a FIT shortcut.
    Note: The FIT installation created a shortcut to launch FIT.

    If you want to build a new shortcut for FIT, follow your computer's procedure for creating a shortcut and then specify the following parameters in the shortcut dialog.

    • target: c:\ibisfit\vw.exe c:\ibisfit\fit.im
    • start in: c:\ibisfit

    If the shortcut is part of a program folder, you can launch FIT from the Windows start menu.

  2. Associate the FIT application (fit.im) to its program (vw.exe) and then double click on "fit.im".

    Many windows files have a distinctive extension which associates the file with a program. For example, when you double-click on a file with extension ".doc", Microsoft Word will start and open that document.

    FIT works in a similar fashion with its two principal files. Double-click on "c:\ibisfit\fit.im". If '.im' files have not been associated to a program, the computer will prompt for a program. Respond with "c:\vworks\vw.exe" to link FIT with its program. After this association has been established within Windows, FIT can be launched by double-clicking on "file fit.im".
