Contrary to widespread belief, Kermit 95 is not MS-DOS Kermit repackaged
for 32-bit Windows and OS/2. It is an entirely separate program that does
not share even one line of code with MS-DOS Kermit.
As noted in the Web page:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95.html
Kermit 95 is -- for the present -- a console application and therefore
prohibited from drawing graphics. So no graphic terminal emulations (Tek,
Sixel, etc) until after the conversion to full GUI is complete.
Sorry, these things take time.
