I am having a problem with the Vlt terminal program, and I wonder if others
have seen this and if there is a fix. I believe I am running version 4.226.

The problem occurs when downloading files to the Amiga using Kermit. The
symptoms are as follows:

- Tell the remote host (VMS or UNIX Kermit) to "set file type binary".

- Tell Vlt to switch default directory to DF1:

- Tell the remote host to send a file

- Tell Vlt to receive a file.

- Vlt pops up the window with the name of the file and the transfer
   statistics.

- The name of the file is correctly displayed, and the file is correctly
  opened on DF1:

- However, the block counter does not increment. Rather the ERROR COUNTER
  increments until it reaches 10. At that point I GET THE GURU. 

- After rebooting and reloading Vlt (still in Kermit on remote host) IT WORKS
  FINE.

- This behaviour is completely reproducible (GURU first time, works after
  rebooting) and has been observed on an A1000 with 512kb and an A500 with
  1 MB.

Any ideas? Does anyone have Willy's e-mail address so I can contact him
directly?

Please respond via e-mail. I will sumarize and post if it seems desirable.
