Nice for what purpose?
It would lack terminal emulation, XYZmodem file transfer, Windows
Telephony, scrollback in command and terminal modes, mouse actions,
printer control, Browser hotspots, keyboard mapping for all keys and
key combinations, support for Windows code pages and/or Unicode, and
countless other Windows-specific items that Windows users ask for.
UNIX C-Kermit is designed for, and supported under, UNIX. If it can
be compiled under Windows using UNIX compatibility libraries such as
Cygwin-32, OpenWindows, or UWIN, it might or might not work; if it
works, it might work well or poorly, but in any case the result is not
supportable.
We already have a mature and supported native product for Windows 95,
one which is under constant development. There is no need to start
over.
