---------------
Programs invariably grow larger with time, some spectacularly so,
alas. MS-DOS Kermit is no exception to the rule but not to the second part.
Depending on your needs version 3.14 is offered in three sizes: regular full
featured, medium-sized MSK which removes TCP/IP and other networking support
and graphics, and BBS sized MSK Lite. The last also omits terminal emulation
and is a file mover rather than that plus terminal emulation.
I suspect the medium size might be a good choice since the XT's
likely have no networking.
Please do inspect these variations for the best match at your site.
Anonymous ftp to kermit.columbia.edu, cd kermit/bin, binary file msvibm.zip
has them all.
