Thanks to the people who corrected my error about VistaPro. VP 3.0 does
indeed utilize the USGS DEM data. I however am using version 2, which does
not without the utilities. I apologize for the misinformation.
Now for the other questions about obtaining DEM files from the USGS. At this
time you may obtain, via Anonymous FTP, 1:250,000 scale DEM's. These cover a
1 degree area. The rest of the DEM's may be purchased through the Earth
Science Information Center (Call 1-800-USAMAPS). These
DEM's are the 7.5 minute quadrangles (same area as a topo map), 15 minute
quads for Alaska and 30 minute units.
The cost starts at 40$ for 1 unit (file). It drops according to quantity
until you get to 6 or more which is 90$ plus 7$ per unit. These are
available on 9 track tapes or 8mm tapes (from a VAX). Arrangemets can be
made to receive the files via FTP if you have that capability.
More information is available through WWW at:

The anonymous FTP site is edcftp.cr.usgs.gov
I hope this helps
