   I called the author a few months ago when I found a copy in our archives.
He told me that the beta-release (beta? I think it was) that had gotten out
was most definately *not* PD, or shareware, or anything else like that.  So
I dinked it from the archives (don't really know how it got out there anyway...
it wasn't in any of the indices or anything).

   I seem to remember someone mentioning that some memory board company was
distributing copies.. don't know what version or company it was though.

   As for the reliability of VDK:, the beta copy we had was buggy in that
sometimes it would toast files for no reason.
