The version of KERMIT posted has been used and incrementally refined for a long time. It is a robust piece of software. On the other hand, the new version of KERMIT you mention is still in preliminary form, and there are still serious bugs. I have a recent version (FTP'd from Columbia's system two days ago!), and it tends to behave very erratically in server mode, quickly becoming unusable. I'll stick to the older version (still avaliable from Columbia, by the way) until this one is no longer ``preliminary''. Those of you with ARPA access can pick up either version from host ``CU20B'' via anonymous FTP. The old version is ``KER:UX*'', the newer ``KER:CK*''. This host is also on a couple of other computer networks. (Note: as near as I can tell, the older version at Columbia is the same as the one posted.) -Ed Hall decvax!randvax!edhall
