Kermit-32 is smaller than C-Kermit because it does less. But it's old and
no longer supported. I don't know anybody that can even compile it. And
if it works on Alphas, it's a miracle.
If people want a "C-Kermit Lite" for VMS -- no frills, no outgoing
connections, no script programming language, no character sets, etc -- i.e.
a C-Kermit equivalent of Kermit-32, but with the advanced file-transfer
protocol features, it could be arranged. Would that be enough to make you
finally all put away your copies of Kermit-32?
Well, in all candor, there is some other low-level i/o work that needs to
be done in VMS C-Kermit that could reduce the CPU load a bit, but this
requires an expert VMS systems programmer (which I'm not). Any
volunteers? Don't be shy :-)
