It's always being planned, always being contemplated.

See:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/support.html
(the last part of the KERMIT 95 SUPPORT AND UPDATE STATUS section).
The 2GB size limit is a big one, as it is in C-Kermit. Well, maybe not as
big as in C-Kermit because at least in Windows there is only one way to do
it, whereas in other OS's such as Unix (Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc etc)
there are myriad ways. The C-Kermit source code is public, anybody who
wants to lend a hand is more than welcome. The best way to ensure that a
feature gets into a future release of K95 is to put it in C-Kermit first
because K95 *is* C-Kermit, plus some stuff.

The best way to ensure continued development of K95 is for people to
continue licensing it. The more orders we get (particularly for bulk
right-to-copy licenses), the more options we have as to future releases.
