Unfortunatly, I have lost the article, and now have need of this tester, and can't find the program anywhere. Can someone please email me the address and directory of an archiver that has this program? Sorry, that was my original posting and I neglected to indicate where the test was to be found (since its mention was only incidental to the gist of the message thread). Enclosed is a copy of one of my postings in this regards. The program's name is "vttest" and can also be found, as I discovered recently, at the archive site wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (IP 26.2.0.74). And, note, it's also on a "Fish Disk". Sheesh, the nerve of some people who recently claimed the "old" AmigaLibDisks should be tossed out with the fishwrap (no pun intended :-). An archive is an archive is an archive, and should be preserved FOREVER. Period. What would you think of the Library of Congress tossing out the Declaration of Independence or the US Constitution simply because they're old and have been "amended"? Double sheesh.
