And why wouldn't you want to have one single set of consistent, supportable
source code, instead of a multiple of forks and branches that are all
different? Support requests for Kermit come here, but if they are about
a modified version that we haven't even seen, how can we support it?
We've been developing and supporting C-Kermit since 1985, and all fixes are
gratefully accepted. If you make a fix but you don't send it in, then the
next release of C-Kermit won't have the fix you'll either be stuck with the
old version, or you'll have to put the fix in again.
