Message-ID: <116@rti-sel.UUCP> Date: Mon, 4-Mar-85 09:28:49 EST Article-I.D.: rti-sel.116 Posted: Mon Mar 4 09:28:49 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 6-Mar-85 03:10:41 EST References: <341@idis.UUCP> <111@rti-sel.UUCP> <162@sdcc13.UUCP> Reply-To: rcb@rti-sel.UUCP (Random) Organization: Research Triangle Institute, NC Lines: 18 Summary: According to the comments in the code that I have, the person that posted the kermit in c source is NOT the author. He is apparently a poor misguided soul that thought that this was the best available for UNIX. In fact, the kermit posted is about as mininal an implementation as it is possible to make and using it will confuse most "full" kermit implementations (at least the ones that I use). The comment was posted to try and prevent other users the pain of trying to use this system when there is a much better one available (which has now been posted). As to harrassing the author, according to the code I have, the author of the old version and the author of the new version are the same person. And the new version is an excellent program. I still maintain however that the old version is a good example of a bad hack and should not have been posted. Random Research Triangle Institute ...!mcnc!rti-sel!rcb
