Hi!

This is going back a while :-)

There are two potential problems:
- a known bug in the source, where a character
  variable is initialised in such a way that some
  compilers will treat it as a constant (If I recall
  correctly). This might be the cause of the second
  error.
- the format of the interlinear at Stolfi's site
  is no longer exactly according to the definition
  when VTT was written. This might be why it does
  not find any particular transcription (e.g. H).

By the way, there should be one DOS executable 
in the zip file which you should be able to use
directly.
I think that a VTT compatible with the interlinear
also exists. Best to discuss this off-list.

Cheers, Rene
