I have tested this program for our users here at bsu-cs..
I ran it on an zenith ibm-xt compatable running windows verson 2.03 and
windows version 1.04.

these were my results:

1) the font given was garbage on the 1.04 windows.
2) for windows 2.03, I following the instructions: I replaced vt?.fon with 
vtherc.fon.. no font appeared.. so I reloaded vt?.fon..
I had *NO* problems.. found it to be a useful program..

hope this helps somebody to make their decision..
