Besides VPView, which is 1.62 MB, there's also
VP Combiner, 84 KB.
The first is more user-friendly than the second, admittedly, though the second lets you modify and build VPs.
But I did add the ability to use the TBL files directly from VP files, so you don't need to bother to learn either program. Use the "Set tables VP..." button to load the ships and weapons info into memory.
Using this, you'll want to load either "root_fs2.vp" or "mv_zpack.vp" or "mv_speffects.vp", depending on whether you're using retail FS2 or the mediaVP zpack, or the separate mediaVP packages.
