Really!?  I've got the "Try Before You Buy" and have been through the
tutorial on both Code400 and VARPG.  Honestly, I am (was) interested
mostly in Code400 and not VARPG, I just did the tutorial for the heck of
it.

Do I do something special or weird to get VARPG to handle this type of
file?

Thanks.
