  21. Thought I'd close the loop with this thread, which I started after
  22. seeing an ominous remark by Frank, implying that I might need the
  23. beta version with a new Linux distribution.
  24.  
  25. I'm happy to report that my good old C-Kermit 6.0.192, straight
  26. off the CD that came with the Using C-Kermit book in late 1997,
  27. compiled just fine with my S.u.S.E 5.3 distribution.  I had to
  28. tell the linker that the lcurses and ltermcap libs were in their
  29. own directories in /usr/lib, and open up some permissions in /var/lock.
  30.  
  31. So, the moral is, don't panic. :)
  32.  
  33. Cheers,
  34.
