Kermit News

Kermit News was the print journal of the Kermit Project from 1986 to 1995; subscriptions were free of charge. After that it became too expensive for us to print and mail Kermit News. Since 1995, the Kermit website is the source for all Kermit information, news, and updates (you can always check the “What's New” page). The following past Kermit issues are archived on the Kermit FTP and Web sites:

The first issue was done in PageMaker on a Macintosh. Numbers 4, 5, and 6 were done in the Scribe markup language set to produce both text and PostScript output. At the moment I can't recall how 2 and 3 were done and can't find any examples to scan. PDF versions were added in October 2010: Number 1 by scanning, Numbers 4-6 by converting the PostScript with ps2pdf.
