No; actually, I can't recall that I've heard of it before. Maybe I
should subscribe to it? Could you give me the address?

Not yet, but considering the response I've gotten on this, I think I
will get in touch with him promptly. Okay, that goes on my list for tomorrow.

What I have now is a draft translation of the "VFLib Q & A" document,
which mainly talks about what VFLib can and can't do. There is also an
Installation Guide which I haven't touched yet, but will take on if I
can find the time.

I suppose if anyone has a pressing need I could send you a copy of the 
thing. Actually, I've already sent one to Rex Walters. But I want it
to be understood that this is only a draft; it's not yet approved by the
author, and I don't want it placed on any public server or passed all
over the Internet until it is.

If you would like to look at a copy, send me an e-mail; I'm doing it
in SGML (LinuxDoc DTD), but I also have TeX and DVI files on hand.

Anyway, now that I've gotten everybody's hopes up, I guess I'll have
to put this project much higher on my to-do list. Though as Craig
guessed, I have *copious* (oh so copious!) free time .... NOT.
