Just to forstall questions, this beta has one known problem:
saying Kermit -f <filename in the current directory> may fail if the
filename lacks a full path. It's fixed at my place already, but rather
than issuing a new beta after a day we felt it better to use these few
remaining days to discover any last bugs. Please, if you find them report
them immediately so we can make the formal release ASAP. Don't depend on
NEWS to be speedy; try my personal address, jrd@cc.usu.edu.

Oh, that's a signature of running over many PPP and some SLIP
links, but nothing to do with C Kermit itself. You can SET SEND (or RECEIVE)
PACKET <length of your choosing> at the C Kermit prompt if necessary to
overcome any system defaults the guys have created.
The suggestion to at least try MS-DOS Kermit on the PC end is a
good one. About four window slots of 1-2KB packets is plenty on a local
link. No binary editing hackery required.
