Thanks a lot for this information. I downloaded some of these
files yesterday using ftp (nice to see that FTP is supported yet
instead of being replaced with HTTP). Indeed, there are only
minor differences between the 7th. beta release and the final
release of MS-DOS Kermit (in fact, only a fix to avoid the status
value of "END" being ignored in the 8th. beta release is documented).
In any case, any fix is very valuable.

But, as observed by Frank, that binary will require a lot of
support files (mostly documentation files). Most files in MSK316.ZIP
are the source code, not related with a binary distribution of
Kermit for MS-DOS. Don't tried it, but it should fit on a single
diskette when replacing the files in previous MS-DOS Kermit
releases too.

Don't worry at all. By the way, thanks a lot for joining this thread
from your current place! And thanks a lot to Frank too for alerting
you. On MS-DOS Kermit issues you are the right person to contact!

I am looking for a post-doctoral position right now! ;-)
Best regards and, again, thank you for joining this thread.
Igor.
