There is another problem, at least for me: Kermit 95 will not display
a full-screen DOS emulation type window and although it gives a number
of font choices (presumably depending on what fonts are installed), nothing
is as easy on the eyes as the standard DOS window (which is not unlike
a terminal window or what one sees with SCO Unix, Linux, etc.). Is there
any chance of capturing the DOS-emulation window which all versions of
Windows still have as far as I know and making it available for Kermit 95
users? (I can imagine that this would not be easy to do as it would mean
programming a separate menu interface (or giving up on menus -- which would
be fine with me) and probably there would be other complications, but this
is the real reason I still use MS-DOS Kermit (on those machines on which
it will run -- on some I have the "unrecognised com port" problem).
Many thanks,
