I am having a problem with the Vlt terminal program, and I wonder if others have seen this and if there is a fix. I believe I am running version 4.226. The problem occurs when downloading files to the Amiga using Kermit. The symptoms are as follows: - Tell the remote host (VMS or UNIX Kermit) to "set file type binary". - Tell Vlt to switch default directory to DF1: - Tell the remote host to send a file - Tell Vlt to receive a file. - Vlt pops up the window with the name of the file and the transfer statistics. - The name of the file is correctly displayed, and the file is correctly opened on DF1: - However, the block counter does not increment. Rather the ERROR COUNTER increments until it reaches 10. At that point I GET THE GURU. - After rebooting and reloading Vlt (still in Kermit on remote host) IT WORKS FINE. - This behaviour is completely reproducible (GURU first time, works after rebooting) and has been observed on an A1000 with 512kb and an A500 with 1 MB. Any ideas? Does anyone have Willy's e-mail address so I can contact him directly? Please respond via e-mail. I will sumarize and post if it seems desirable.

There are a number of known bugs in XPR Kermit Version 1.5, which is what Mark is actually using for his Kermit transfers (VLT uses XPR Kermit when the user picks the Kermit menu option). In particular, use on an A3000 is guaranteed to crash. OK, I hear you--I'll try to put an interim release with the known bugs fixed out in a few days.
