Why does it have to be free?
The Kermit effort is entirely self supporting, depending on income
from software distribution fees (dwindling in this era of burgeoning
Internet access) and book sales for its continued existence.
Since we have gone to the trouble of writing and publishing manuals that
document the script programming language clearly and with numerous examples,
why not simply "hit the books"?
