The 2.1.3 release of Kermit 95 will support Agent Forwarding.
I did the work last night to implement it along with some other new
features:
. SET TERMINAL LINE-SPACING
in case you do not like single spaced terminals. valid values
are between 1.0 and 3.0
. Many new extended command line options:
--nomenubar
--notoolbar
--nostatusbar
--nobars :: all of the above
--nopush :: same as NOPUSH command, prevents external command execution
--noescape :: same as SET TERM ESCAPE-CHAR DISABLE. Nullifies the
escape character and the \Kexit keyboard verb (alt-x)
--noscroll :: disables scrollbars and scroll keyboard verbs (NOSCROLL)
--lockdown :: combines all of the above
. Fixed printing a mouse selection
. SET TERMINAL CURSOR <style> NOBLINK
if you do not like blinking cursors
. Fixed tt_\v(termtype) macros. These are macros that are executed
when a terminal type is selected either by the user or by host
negotiation. They are useful to configure the terminal for specific
character-sets and other settings. The macros can reference \v(line)
to determine the host the terminal is connected to.
Contributions can be made to my friend Kevin's Beer Fund:

I would really like to be able to add a GUI Drag Drop File Transfer
display onto Kermit 95. To do so will take me about three months full
time work. If there are any organizations that would like to see this
implemented and would be willing to contribute to my rent fund, please
contact me.
Adding this capability would allow K95 to be used as a more user friendly
interactive client for:
. FTP servers (with or without SRP, SSL/TLS, Kerberos)
. Internet Kermit Servers
. any Kermit SERVER implementation that supports REMOTE KERMIT QUERY
to retrieve directory information
. and could be used for SFTP (the SSHv2 file transfer service) if
that is ever implemented
Happy Holidays!!!!
