Yup.

I'd still like everything available in one or two tarballs. A two
tarball DL won't be confusing with a good, descriptive naming scheme
for each. Or at least a 1STREADME.tarballs that explains everything
about the separate tarballs for those of us that actually do
README's. ;-)
It's great to have something on my system or on a disk that I can
pull up for those times I *don't* have access to the 'net. I have
clients that have *no* or very limited (e-mail only please, no
attachments) internet access in their office. Yikes! Yet they use
c-kermit (because I told them to buy it from you) for remote file
x-fers via modem. I would need *something* to take with me besides
the bare executable (I leave *my* book at the office! ;-). The plain
text files with tips and hints and new or modified commands are a
help here.
