[imp] Using vinfo in IMP 3.1

[Eli]

Nobody has got back to me on this (I don't expect an answer like as if
you're my students!, but...) and it's really important.  Once I solve
this problem I can leave you all alone :)  So, just forwarding my
message to the list again hoping that someone can shed some light on my
problem!

Thanks,

Eli
