The current version of C-Kermit is 6.0.192:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html
It still uses -lcurses (this was the advice from Linus, who said that
any proper Linux system, if it is going to use ncurses, should install
the appropriate symlinks). However, it seems that this is not what
happened in real life. And so:
1. The makefile and online docs include the appropriate commentary.
2. The Red Hat install packages for C-Kermit 6.0.192:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/archives/ckermit-6.0.192-7.*.rpm
have been built with ncurses.
3. The next release will use ncurses by default.
