;-)
My humble opinion is that the book is great and that the online documentation
(the files KERMIT.HLP, KERMIT.UPD and KERMIT.BWR) are very usefull and better
than the 'online documentation' found with some other 'free/share/other-ware'
programs.
The mentioned files have kept me from sending in many questions and
bug-reports to the kermit people because the answer to my questions were
there. So even without the book the documentation is there and answers most
questions you might have.
