Actually, I wouldn't mind a 1800 page book....I tire of reading software
documentation, if provided or useful at all, as a PDF on a monitor.
What about Kermit's web address? The main kermit URL is now
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit. Have you considered a private domain name

someone would give one up or donate one to you?
