Evidently they do not know that C-Kermit is one of the most widely tested
and best supported software packages available to them. But I'm impressed
that they would devote their legions of technical staff to such a rigorous
testing program, to protect their users from contamination by bugs. I hope
if they find any, they will report them to us. Of course by then 7.0 will
be released...
