Thanks, I found the ckuins.txt file in the archive. :)

I found this file on the server:
/usr/share/man/man1/kermit.1.gz
So I guess I'll do:
mv ckuker.nr kermit.1
gzip kermit.1
mv kermit.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/
Besides that, is C-Kermit still just the single kermit exe, and a few ini-files
stashed in /etc/kermit?
It's been a few years since I last touched Kermit. :)
So I'll replace the binary /usr/bin/kermit with the new one, and be done?

I think I'll let the rpm beast lie for this time.
The whole thing seems a bit fragile still... :(

If it's just a question of replacing a single binary and a single man page, I
think I'd better do it manually.
Kermit is already installed by RPM, I don't want to break that.
I just tried running the simple testscript with the latest C-Kermit and now it
doesn't work at all, since none of the crypto parts are included. :(
I just looked at section 4.2 in:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/security80.html
Who is the sad clown in US congress who came up with this idiotic export
restriction?
Can't you just distribute the project from Canada, like OpenBSD?
If I want a kermit with the works, what do I do?
I see a lot of stuff having to be added into the makefile.
Could you please email me a complete makefile, and I'll download all the
"forbidden" libraries or whatever I need, myself?
If you can't, I understand, but if you can and will, I'd be very grateful.
