[ASLML] VASL Q....

[Wes Neal]

I checked out the new version of VASL after seeing some posts about it.  I
know it is free and I love the older versions, but man this one I hope to
never have to use.  It looks like Rodney is taking the Microsoft route and
bloating it up.  It was hard enough going from VASL3 to VASL4, this one is
just too much.  What is the point of having to launch it from a webpage?  I
know there it can be done another way, but the documentation says "click"
right here to launch VASSL.  The overview being attached to the text window
I don't get either, perhaps there is a way to turn it off.  I don't consider
multiple windows "clutter" maybe others do.  Does anyone like or use the new
version?
