  35. With C-Kermit version 6 you can use "set file collision update"  on the
  36. receiving machine then transfer all files from the remote system.  If
  37. the remote file is older or the same age the file is skipped. I have not
  38. worked with MS-Kermit so I do not know if this feature is implemented.
