This is not a problem with Kermit 95. The character reversal or
loss is taking place within Windows 95/98. This bug was reported to
Microsoft years ago. They have chosen not to look at it.
Windows 95/98 is still a DOS based operating environment. Use
NT (or the forthcoming win2000 pro) if you want a multitasking
operating system with process protection and reliable time slice
management.
