I downloaded the VLT version 4.824 from abcfd20 in the /incoming/amiga directory. I also found the xpr protocols xprkermit15 and xprxmodem3?? in the same directory. One thing I noticed about the new version is that there is no menu item to change the directory prior to receiving a file. Am I correct that the new version has no way of doing this, or is there a way to accomplish this? Also, does anyone else have problems when using GNU emacs with VLT? Sometimes when the screen is redrawn, I lose the mode line. This is not a serious problem as I can always recover it with C-L, but it is a little disconcerting. Eric G. Stern stern@unix.cis.pitt.edu

There is, but it moved to a new menu. Right-Amiga-D still brings up the change-directory string requester. >Also, does anyone else have problems when using GNU emacs with VLT? Sometimes >when the screen is redrawn, I lose the mode line. This seems to be new with the latest VLT. I've been trying to find the time to look into it, but haven't so far. If anyone else would care to try turning on VLT's new "raw capture" file, which puts EVERYTHING into the output file, you might try it.

I'll look again and make sure. Someone was kind enough to E-Mail the latest version of each of the XPR libraries, so I'm all set.

Along with it, was the new VLT itself also, so I'll try and post each archive on PLink this weekend... :Steve -- -Bill Seymour ...tektronix!reed!percival!agora!billsey ============================================================================= Bejed, Inc.

I advised Willy Langeveld during beta testing to move it to the VLT menu because the function changes the current directory of the vlt process, a parameter that affects more than just the receive directory for file transfers. an excerpt from the vlt beta logfile: :From 4.717 to 4.763: :-------------------- : :.... :- The Change Directory menu item was moved from the Transfer menu : to the VLT menu: it changes the programs default directory globally, : not just the default for downloads. :.... > Seizure later, > --dds >Dale D.
