        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Kermit is *NOT* public domain.  It is freely
                        distributable if at de minimus cost (you can charge
                        for your copying efforts but not for Kermit; but
                        only for a reasonable approximation to your actual
                        costs). [This is my summary; check the actual
                        verbiage from Columbia University.]
                        The protocol is named after Kermit the Frog with
                        kind permission of Henson Associates, Inc.
                        You will find that most versions of Kermit (the
                        program) are copyrighted by both Columbia University
                        and the authors of that particular version.
>cannot find it, I can u'load a copy. Check the delta files door under Kermit.

                            the latest version is 2.32A.

A distribution archive with executables for both generic Microsoft MSDOS and
IBM PC compatibles is 263569 bytes.  This includes some documentation including
a tutorial.  The remainder of the documentation is a single file which as an
archive is 168719 bytes.  These files will each fit on a single 5-1/4" floppy.
They both will fit on a single 3-1/2" "hard" floppy.  I am assuming 320K and
720K respectively.  The complete package including full source fits on 5 360K
or 2 720K floppies.  [I do not have the capacity to write higher densities.]

I am using this package to prepare this posting.  I am using the H-19
emulation.  It is working fine.  I usually use the DEC VT102 emulation with
excellent results.
