As you can see in the ckmker.bwr file, there are numerous plans for
Mac Kermit. Unfortunately, there is nobody to implement them. For the
past five or six years, we have not had a programmer with both the time and
ability to "take charge" of Mac Kermit. Several programmers have made
valuable contributions as one-shot deals. Last month, a university actually
assigned one of its programmers to add Mac TCP support to Mac Kermit, but
before the work could be completed, the programmer took a new job.
If we had the funds to hire a Macintosh programmer, we would do it. But
unfortunately, we don't, and perhaps even more unfortunately, hiring a
full-time employee to do this type of work is the only way it will ever get
done. That's a change from the "old days".
