I've always found the plethora of files, with akward naming and extension
conventions, to be a reminder of the VAX nature hiding in Kermit somewhere.
I would quite gladly skip them all.
Source.zip with only what is required to accomplish a build, with a Readme.
html.zip with a help.htm and everything else one level down, so I can put
help.htm in my kermit directory, and not have a bunch of html pages in that
directory.
The readme should include http: links to various points of interest, and
perhaps iksd login information, to make retrieval of other stuff simple.
The html.zip could be considered both source and binary distribution,
suitable for use in either case.
I must admit I haven't compiled a version of kermit in quite a while for
production use. I get a pre-compiled binary, and only do the compilations
as an assist to a question in this newsgroup.
