Hi, Jeffrey.
Ok, in this case I will consider MS-DOS Kermit 3.16 an stable release.
Are there plans to label 3.16 as a stable release, in the same way 3.14
and 3.15 are? And to provide the missing files in the 3.16 zip file?
I do not know the current status of MS-DOS Kermit, does professor Joe
Doupnik continue working on it? Ok, I guess I know the answers...
DOS is an ancient operating system. In fact, my choice would be
NetBSD and C-Kermit for that computer if it is somewhat better than
a 286, but looking for a Unix or Unix-like OS for a 16-bit PC is a
challenging task!
Thanks again for your reply, I will try 3.16 then.
Igor.
