SecurityPolicy Install for DataFerrett Applet

DataFerrett is written in JAVA. In order to achieve Microsoft Windows-like copy, pasting, printing, and saving functionality from DataFerrett you must either install the DataFerrett permissions SecurityPolicy File or create your own user SecurityPolicy (see below).

This is a text file that is placed in the users folder on the C: drive. When the RunSecurityPolicy is selected it tells your Windows environment that DataFerrett will want to Save/Open DataFerrett sessions or copy/paste using the Windows clipboard.

SecurityPolicy Content

The text below is an example of what the FerretSecurityPolicy will contain.
