No. In Windows we do not have a 640K address-space limit. Anyway, this

You can't expect a tiny program in a restricted memory space to be able
to do big things.
The business about line continuation in data files... This has been
discussed before, but quite honestly I don't recall the outcome. When
MS-DOS Kermit is using OPEN and READ to get data from a file, it should
not treat '-' as a continuation character, as it does when executing
commands from a file, but I know it did at one time; this might have been
fixed in 3.15 or 3.16.
