: Xenix is an obsolete product -- why do you care about it?
:
Because we are the champions of the users of obsolete products :-) About
once a week we are contacted by somebody running some unbelievably ancient
platform who desparately needs to move files off it, and Kermit is their
only hope.
Anyway, didn't I a see a discussion about Xenix right here just last week?
Evidently there are proponents of keeping it alive, and our goal is to keep
C-Kermit available -- and even current -- for every imaginable platform, as
crazy as it might seem in these days of $400 Pentiums.

OK, done, thanks!
