With the conclusion of a successful closed Beta test, Kermit 95 2.0, the
first GUI release for Windows, will be announced shortly:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95gui.htm
It will be available initially as an upgrade patch to existing versions,
and will take a while to find its way into other delivery channels: new
Bulk and Academic Site licenses, retail shrinkwraps, and overseas
distributors.
When we are in a position to ship the new release, the price will go
up to reflect our increased costs. Exactly how each format is affected
(shrinkwraps, bulk licenses, academic licenses, electronic deliveries
>from e-academy.com, etc) remains to be determined, but prices will rise.
Meanwhile, as soon as K95 2.0 is announced, you can patch up to it at no
cost if you have a valid license. A valid license is any one of the
following:
. A shrinkwrapped copy
. An electronically delivered copy purchased from e-academy.com
. A bulk or academic site license in its first year
. A bulk or academic site license whose maintenance payments are current
. A lifetime academic site license
Therefore, if you were planning to purchase the K95 but were waiting for
the GUI version, you can save money by buying K95 now and then patching.
Current (soon to change) K95 pricing and licensing information are here:
