Correct, VLT now uses XPR XMODEM and Kermit. Since these are written by
others (Marc Boucher and Steve Walton respectively) you'll have to
acquire them from somewhere. I'm sure one of the FTP sites must have
them, or else someone can get them from BIX and put them where others
can get them. It is indeed as simple as putting the .library files in
libs:. There are doc files included that explain how to set your
preferences independent of VLT using environment variables.

A new release of xprkermit is coming up, but I'll leave it to the author
to announce when. It has a few bugs fixed and may work better in some
cases. It certainly is already a lot better than what was built into the
previous version of VLT, even though the that version did work in some
cases where xprkermit 1.5 apparently failed. Believe me, the built-in
version failed in more cases and was unstable too.

Anyway, I'm not sure I remember the questions... 8)

       Willy.
