It is.
Also, in C-Kermit 6.1 and MS-DOS Kermit 3.16, as well as Kermit 95, now
both in Beta test, it is possible to use "set file collision update" while
recursively descending through the file system, thus allowing updating of
not just one directory, but an entire directory tree (as noted in earlier
messages in this thread).
