Hey, Kermit was here first -- Microsoft should have made OLE "Kermit
compliant", not the other way around.
Those who know the Kermit scripting language can use it on several hundred
different platforms. Try running your OLE script on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX,
AIX, IRIX, FreeBSD, Unixware, Tru64, Ultrix, SunOS, VMS, AOS/VS, VOS, MS-DOS,
OS/2, AmigaDOS, and all the other plaftorms where Kermit scripts run.
We'll do the GUI first and worry about the other 3-letter acronyms later.
The K95 GUI is our absolute number-one top priority at the moment.
