I didn't have enough memory to put an ARP workbench in df0: and run VLT from df1:. Also there wasn't enough space on the VLT disk to install ARP. So to run VLT I had to boot from the VLT disk in df0:, but Then VLT couldn't find ARP. If I booted with the ARP workbench, I didn't have enough memory for VLT. Very frustrating. >How did you ever manage to get on this net?
