Hi Frank!
I think that professor Doupnik found the time to make a final (non beta)
release of MS-DOS Kermit. In fact, there is a MSK316.CHG file with
some changes, the last one is:
MS-DOS Kermit v3.16 12 Oct 2003
Revise version banner to remove word beta.
Final release.
Can you, please, update the ZIP files at Columbia University's anonymous
FTP server? Must I upload the ZIP file to the /incoming directory?
By the way, you can find the final release at:
http://netlab1.usu.edu/pub/kermit/MSK316.ZIP (date: Oct 12, 2003)
(MSK31610.ZIP is source code for beta 10!)
Please, let me know if you want to update the ZIP file and if I must
upload the final release to the anonymous FTP server of the Kermit
project or you want to get it from netlab1.
Cheers,
Igor.
