Subject: XYZModem support in MSKermit 3.14
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 18:36:45 +0000
To: [e-mail]

Reading the blurb gave me the impression that MS-DOS KERMIT 3.14
supported X/Y/ZMODEM file transfer.

So, I downloaded a copy to play with to see if it would do what I need
(I'm developing some serial-based communications systems).

However, I couldn't for the life of me find out how to get it to do
an X/Y/ZModem file transfer.

The blurb also says that Kermit95 supports XYZ, but that's not
available for preview downloading; and I'm reluctant to send off money
for something if I don't actually know what it does.  I've already got
a cupboard full of useless software that I didn't need to have bought.

Can somebody give a definitive answer.  Does MS-Kermit 3.xx support
XYZ?  How do I get it to do it?

Thanks.
