                  I was also unaware of this.  The version I use was included
                with my "Pacific Peripherals" memory expansion.

                  I am not trying to knock vdk:,  I'm just trying to point
             out difficulties I've had with it.  Where might I get the latest
             release?   One nice thing about vdk: is that it is nearly as fast
             as ram:, whereas vd0: is not.

                  By carefull "memory-wise" I mean that if I have a
             complicated, highly fragmented useage of memory, that vdk:
             is less likely to recover.   Usually it require 3 or more
             earlier resets to cause this to happen, but it does happen.

                                                           Thanks,

                                                                Wade.
