Need I say that's a dumb idea? Why don't you just ask the system
administrators to change the menu to include "Kermit binary" and
"Kermit text"?

That is five years old. The current version is 3.14.
Both Kermit programs are perfectly able to handle text-format conversion.
Just tell the system administrators to let you use this program to do
what it is supposed to do.

Why don't you order it from us by post? That way we get some money to
help pay for our continuing work, and you get a manual. I'll send you
a catalog under separate cover.
