I've seen several postings lately about VLT, in terms of new versions,
bugs, etc. What's the very latest version? Does it really have bugs
in it? Why would it be worth getting? What support files (for
transferring files, etc.) should I have? Is there anything else I
should know?

The latest version of VLT is 5.045. There seems to be a problem on *some*
Amigas when VLT is run from script icons. That problem has not yet been
resolved, but since I'm going to change the way that works anyway, I bet
the problem will be gone in the next version. However, I don't expect the
next version to be out in the next two months. Support files: VLT has no
built-in transfer protocols anymore, so you need some XPR's. VLT's console
works with any console handler that can open windows on the front screen,
such as ConMan. If you plan on running it on the Workbench, you can use the
standard console. VLT also requires arp.library. Other than that, all support
files come with the archive. That is, with 5.034. 5.045 is only a bugfix
update which has only the executables. You should also write in for the
free 114 page printed manual (see doc files).
