	VLT is a 4014 emulator that supports some of the 4105 color
sequences and that's about it.  It does not support a separate dialog area
which almost all 4105 applications make some use of, that's why things can
get pretty wierd.  I've also found that selective erasure doesn't work so
well so more than one thing overlaps on the screen at a time.  However,
V4.428 just showed up on Compuserve, I haven't gotten it to see what
improvements have been made.

	It works with AREXX but the rexxarplib is required and another
library (help me out here guys and gals) also helps.

	Marco says he has a full 4105 emulator that just needs financial
backing....
