Kermit for about every machine and system conceived by man is available via anonymous ftp (login anonymous guest) from columbia university on machine CU20B. It is all stored in TOPS-20 directoryor ker: for short. Look in the "aa" files (such as aavers.hlp or something like that) for general info. The versions file lists the various machines supported; each of these then relates to a group of files in the same directory with the same prefix which are necessary to install the kermit of your choice. For some systems, only sources are available, while for others such as the C64, a hex version of the binary plus a simple BASIC program to get the hex file down- loaded are included. Generally, each sub-kermit (as distinguished by the prefix) has some documentation and help files included that you should read first so that you will know what others you will need. To date, I've had only minimal trouble getting Kermit up via this method for IBM-PC, VAX/VMS, VAX/UNIX, C-64, and (maybe) PDP-11. Good luck, Frank Prindle Prindle@NADC.arpa
