As Shan already knows a zoo archive of VLT 4.036 is available via anonymous
ftp from gtss.gatech.edu [128.186.4.1].  Look in pub/vlt/vlt4p036 for
vlt4p036.zoo.

This is a binary file (not tenex or ascii).  I have not provided a uuencoded
version of the zoo file this time.  I don't want to waste the disk space
unless somebody wants a uuencoded version  to be provided.  Let me know
if you do.

The unzooed files only take up about 270K which is substantially less than
what I would expect Mr. F. Fish to devote an entire disk to.  On the other
hand the zoo distribution doesn't come with any rexx*.libs any more, so
perhaps the Fish disk has the new releases of these as well (I don't think
I do.)

In any case if my copy of this distribution is incomplete I would like to
find out about it and complete it as soon as possible.  If someone will
confirm that this distribution is complete, I'll ftp it to Bob for
comp.binaries.amiga, if no one else has already done so.

The last I heard from Shan he had been using it with no trouble for a
few hours.  I have now used it myself for a couple of days with only one
problem arising from a small change in the scripting language (EXIT filename
no longer continues execution with the file filename, at least from init
scripts.  Well I think it sort of continues execution and sort of doesn't,
but the documentation doesn't indicate such a usage anymore so I guess
it's no longer supported).

So I guess we've got a good copy here.
