After obtaining the:
> ; For MS Kermit/IBM-PC Version 3.14, Patches 1-3, 22 Jan 1995
msr314.pch file, and replacing the patch file distributed with the
msvibm.zip MSKermit v3.14 distribution, I notice that the start-up
message generated when MSKermit is initialized:

still indicated "patch level 0".
Is the "patch level 0" an indication of the patch level of the base
kermit.exe
file I am running, or should it be an indication of the patch level
following the installation of the patches contained in msr314.pch? I
notice that if I use the:
ver<CR>
command, I still see "patch level 0", rather than "patch level 3" which
I would expect.
I realize that the kermit.exe file on disk will not change, but I would
expect that after patches are installed, the version of kermit in memory
would reflect the installed patches. Am I doing something wrong?
Just curious ...
TIA for any light that can be shed on this subject.
