First, *don't* use the NoTypes option with LanMan98: set it up properly,
so that it doesn't need the bodge.

With VA, you need to add an association between O-Pro (I assume) files and
a DOS extension in VA's choices.  I think there is a HostFS Types tab in
the VA options window: you need to associate the OvnPro filetype (b27)
with the .dpd extension.

For LanMan98, simply associate the type with the extension using
*LanMan98Map somewhere in your boot sequence (there should already be a
set of mappings there somewhere, anyway).  If your system is set up
correctly, you don't need to use NoTypes at all.
