Vaportalk 1.0 alpha has been placed for anonymous FTP on 
belch.berkeley.edu (128.32.152.202) and valkyrie.ecn.uoknor.edu 
(129.15.22.6), as /pub/mud_clients/vt.1.0.alpha.tar.Z in both 
cases.
 
This is not an official release by any means, just an opportunity 
for people who are interested to try it out.  I am willing to 
explain its workings to interested people.  No complete 
documentation comes with the distribution archive, although 
what I consider sufficient information to get started is.
 
VT is a multi-windowing, multi-connection client.  It does not have 
very many features at present; it lacks a command history, a 
received history, macros, automation, and hiliting and suppression 
of text.  In fact, its only feature of note right now, apart from 
support for multiple window, connections and storage of addresses, 
is key bindings.
