I used to have VMS 5.5 here and was able to build every C-Kermit
version up through 8.0.206 on it, making any needed corrections.
As I recall, the builds were clean, no warnings, except one which
is well marked. (C-Kermit 8.0.206 also built OK on VMS 4.7.)
If you or somebody with VMS 5.x can send me patches to get around
any fatal problems building C-Kermit 9.0, I'll be glad to
incorporate them. We don't "deprecate" old versions of anything.
If there is a comment somewhere to that effect, it's not from me.
