        I received VDK: with my Pacific Peripherals mem. box.  It came with
the beta of VDK:.  I called Pacific Peripherals, and requested an update,
which they aggreed to send me and then never did.  Thus, while I have had no
problems with the box I also do not recommend it.

        I also spoke with the author, who has had difficulties with P.P. and
is really not supporting VDK any more.  He offered to send me a copy of the
release version if I sent him a disk, which I did.  Months have passed, NO
VDK!  (maybe it never made it to hime???)

        Thus I still have not gotten the release version.  However the product
is unsupported, so maybe VD0: is the way to go!

        Also, there is JD0:  (Joanne Dow's program), which may be better than
either VDK: or VD0:.  Unfortunatly, this is only available if you buy memory
box from the owning company (Microbotics ???).  Supposedly it should be
available by the end of summer as a product (or PD?).

        QUESTION: since I can't buy this program, would it be "immoral" 
                    to pirate it and buy it when/if it comes out?  I have
                    had more than one opportunity to receive it (via you
                    pirates out on the net...thanks...but no thanks), and
                    I am sorely tempted.


                                                         Thanks,


                                                                Wade.
