For years, people have been asking us for a publicly downloadable trial
version of Kermit 95. We would have been happy to oblige but since we
wanted to make a good first impression, we were postponing this until the
GUI version was ready. But now, even though the GUI version is very
nearly ready, the supply of K95+ shrinkwraps is exhausted. It doesn't
make sense to run a new batch at this late date, so instead we are
putting up a full-featured but time-limited K95 demo for public download:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95download.html
Due to publishing contracts, etc, however, it lacks the manuals. This
should not be a big burden to modern computer users, who don't read
manuals anyway :-) Plus they are big and you probably wouldn't want to
download them. But in any case we'll cope the best we can by answering
questions, putting up a tutorial:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95tutorial.html
and whatever else it takes.
Please try out the download as soon as you can and let us know of any
kinks in our new InstallShield installation procedure (bearing in mind
that the network might be melting down because of the Nimba virus).
It's about 3.7MB.
Meanwhile, we'll be fulfilling shrinkwrap orders electronically,
following up with actual packages when K95 Version 2.00 is ready.
