Any Divide Overflow errors experienced by MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 when running
under DOS should be fixed in 3.15, so the solution to that problem is to use
3.15. As to why 3.15 doesn't start, my first guess would be that, since it
is marginally larger than 3.14, it does not fit in the available memory. In
that case, try one of the smaller versions, such as MSK315M.EXE. If that
doesn't help, send a report to:
kermit-support@columbia.edu
and we'll see if we can find out what the trouble is.
