Macintoshes running Mac OS X have their own native Kermit program: C-Kermit 8.0 (or later). Don't bother with this page if you have Mac OS X.
Macintosh Kermit 0.993(192), based on C-Kermit 6.0.192, circa 1996, is the last release of "Macintosh Kermit", but it is not a real release. It has numerous rough edges, and might not work at all on modern Macintoshes (it should work on Macintosh System 7.1 or earlier). If it runs at all on your Mac, it is usable for most serial communications tasks. It includes a VT320 emulator, a normal Macintosh graphical user interface as well as the more powerful C-Kermit command interface, and C-Kermit's Kermit protocol engine. Various features and commands still need to be filled in, the menus need reworking and filling out, and many bugs need fixing.
There has been no work on Macintosh Kermit since 1996 due to a lack of qualified and willing Macintosh programmers.

NEW (April 2011): Using Mac Kermit by Christine M. Gianone, unpublished draft manuscript (1991). This was to be the published manual for Mac Kermit 1.0, if it had ever been released, but it wasn't completed. CLICK HERE to download it PDF format. Note that this manuscript has a lot of frog images in it, which would have to be removed before publication. And a lot of crude line drawings done with the mouse that would have been replaced by professional illustrations. (In those days, we had illustrators.)
