As convenient as that might seem to you it is not a reasonable
request. Terminal emulation is a *lot* more than just a state machine,
and those other parts are extremely system dependent. In the case of
MS-DOS Kermit one does not get the present features in the present size
and speed by converting to generic/API-based C code.
