Chuck: it's about time you stopped slamming people in public.
It's disgusting, wastes bandwidth. Your posts continue to be destructive.
Stop and reread my paragraph above more carefully.
What you did, according to your paragraph below, was swipe
code from C Kermit having that ancient Source stuff. You could have
done what I did, implement the protocol fresh and cleanly. The spec is
the same.
If you still have trouble implementing the Kermit protocol then
we are happy to clarify details, but we don't write the code for
other vendors.
