WE DO WINDOWS!!!!!
What is VDT?
VDT is a toolset developed by PET Associates for use with the Microsoft Windows operating
environment. The toolset provides enhancements and improvements to the Microsoft Windows
environment. The VDT toolset is comprised of multiple applications that provide an
environment for windows which allows the user unparalleled flexibility and control with
an intuitive user interface.
With the VDT (Virtual DeskTop) tool you can create a working space (desktop) that can
be up to ONE HUNDRED times larger than your current space. This will allow you to
organize your working environment without having to sort through many overlapping windows.
You can even have VDT start and place your Window applications automatically!
With VGM (Virtual Group Manager) you can organize your applications into
hierarchical groups that can match those of the Program Manager or be organized
any way that is comfortable to you. The VGM will read the Program Manager group files
and/or you can use drag and drop to create your groups. If you have not found
a copy of VGM it can be downloaded from Compuserve under Microsoft under utilities. You
can also find it on many BBSs or internet at CICA.CICA.
Other utilities are also available from PET, such as a drag and drop graphical disk
manager, a one button exit/reboot/restart utility, a cursor locator application and
more! Ragistered users get many of these applets free!

What is SHAREWARE?
VDT is not free software. It is released as shareware, a distribution method that
allows users to evaluate software before actually paying for the software. You
are permitted to evaluate VDT for a period of 30 days. At the end of that time
you must either 1. pay for the software or 2. destroy all copies of the software.
With your registration you will be ensuring that the product is enhanced and supported.

by any person, business, corporation, government agency or any other entity is
