So it's a matter of resources and money. As I indicated in my last
post, I have no problems with that. I am happy with, and grateful for, a
great program that does almost everything I want it to do. If you wanted
to charge everyone for mskermit, I could not argue with that either. My
initial inquiry about LFN support was just that, an inquiry, not a
complaint.
Do you have any objections to me trying to get C Kermit to compile and run
under GNU-Win32? Is there anyone else working on this? Do you have any
suggestions for making it easier?
