Maybe you could be more specific about exactly which two kinds of computers
you are trying to do this for, and what the "other" version of Kermit is.

You're not being clear about which Kermit program is sending the APC,
which one is supposed to be receiving it, etc.

Of course it works. Just read the documentation and follow the instructions.
For C-Kermit 5A(190), which I assume in your case is the "APC sender", read
section 3.1 of ckcker.upd.
For MS-DOS Kermit as the "APC receiver", there are certain slight variations
that depend on the program version. Version 3.12 and earlier did not have
this feature. Version 3.13 was the first to support APC, and by default it
was "ON". However, during 3.13's lifetime we received a number of comments
stating that there were certain risks to having it on by default, and
therefore it was better to have it OFF by default in hopes that users would
do some reading to figure out how to turn it ON and hopefully see the
accompanying material on the risks. This was done in version 3.14. Read
about it in section 10 of the KERMIT.UPD file that comes with this version.
Basically, all you have to do is tell MS-DOS Kermit to "set term apc on".
And on the subject of APC, note that C-Kermit 5A(190) (in the UNIX, VMS,
and OS/2 versions) now can itself be an APC receiver, and MS-DOS Kermit 3.14
can be an APC sender.
If you have any further problems after reading the documentation, report them
by e-mail to kermit@columbia.edu.
