It's in:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/a/msixse.* (text mode)
The DOS binary is in:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/bin/msixse.exe (binary mode)
It's also in the UTILS directory on the MS-DOS Kermit diskette.
This is a program that creates a command file to be executed by MS-DOS Kermit,
the result being to send a directory tree. The advantage of this approach
is that it works with older Kermit programs that do not support the new
directory-tree transfer features (descent through directory tree, automatic
creation of directories, inclusion of relative pathnames on outgoing files,
automatic per-file text/binary mode switching, etc) themselves.
