Thanks! In reality, they are turning out to be more like tutorials or
introductions to different topics than actual case studies. I was hoping
users would post some case studies of their own -- how they used Kermit
software to solve real-life problems in their own areas of endeavor.
Hey, I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself in public every day, why should
you be? :-) (I'm sure many readers have noticed that few postings escape my
keyboard without at least one embarrassing typo -- often a missing "not" or
incomplete web or ftp reference; the case studies, at least, afford the
opportunity to fix such gaffes retrospectively on the Website versions.)
