The MSVRB2 version is an offshoot of an earlier release, with many features
added, including VT220 emulation, pop-up menus, etc. No further development
work was ever done on this version.
Space does not permit including the assembler source for the Kermit program,
but it can be ordered on magnetic tape from Columbia University, or obtained
over various computer networks or from dialup hosts (but note that Columbia
will always have the most up-to-date set of source files).
The .BOO file programs are useful for encoding binary files as printable text
(.BOO) files and decoding them back into their original form, for convenient
shipping over communication lines, networks, or electronic mail. New versions
of Kermit are often distributed in .BOO format.
