The real question is: "under OS/2 what do you gain by creating a vareity
of version?" The answer is not much.
The reason for the different version of MS-DOS Kermit is the DOS 640k
memory limit. Under OS/2, this is not an issue. Executable code which
is never used is never loaded.
OS/2 C-Kermit already does have much of its TCP/IP is separate DLLs.
One DLL for each TCP/IP product supported. These DLLs are optional.
The savings of some disk space alone is not a good enough reason to have
to support multiple versions.
