Yeah, us post-docs just sit around bullsh**ting all day long -- the
grunt work goes to the grad students, of course :-).

Sorry it took me so long to respond, I sort of get down when there's
500 messages to read..so I had a marathon session the other night and
got caught up.

I will send VLT and it's paraphernalia off to Bob Page when I get the
chance (we haven't heard from him for a while..but I dumped moria 3.0
on him a few weeks back and he's probably addicted by now :-).  Back
when VLT was originally requested (6 mos ago?) there were the problems
with binaries, plus I was pretty new to the net and didn't know my way
around.  Anyhow, the documentation accompanying VLT should probably
include at least the complete TeX sources, plus the stripped ascii
version.  Anyone see the need to distribute a .dvi file as well?
I don't think it's worth waiting for the next update, unless he's
getting really close (I'll give Willy a yell).
